My Talk on Jin Yong on the China History Podcast


 
 
I had the privilege of being invited on the renowned China History Podcast to talk with the host, Laszlo Montgomery, about Jin Yong's life, his works, their influence on pop culture, the history and evolvement of the wuxia genre and other interesting tidbits.
 
The talk was recorded on April 9, the release date of The Earthly Blaze, the concluding sequel to The Heavenly Sword! This wuxia-myth duology was written in the first place to celebrate Jin Yong's 100th birthday. So it was like a double celebration!
 
The generous host also allowed me time to introduce my four published novels to his world-wide audience, for which I'm most thankful.
