The Best of Mekong Review
Edited by Minh Bui Jones
Over the last three years, Mekong Review has transformed itself from an obscure magazine born in Cambodia to an acclaimed quarterly of culture and ideas and one of the most recognised titles in Southeast Asia. It provides a space for writers, artists and photographers to explore a wide variety of subjects in an exhilarating way. Mekong Review publishes long-form reviews, essays, interviews, profiles, poetry and fiction from the region and beyond—whose common features are their range, their knowledge and their fearlessness.
The Best of Mekong Review presents a selection of engaging essays and reviews chosen by its founding editor, Minh Bui Jones, from over 250 pieces the magazine has published. The selection features established writers like Emma Larkin, Sebastian Strangio and Nic Dunlop to emerging talents such as Pim Wangtechawat, Laurel Flores Fautauzzo and Mai Huyen Chi. It draws from a large palette of subjects: from shopping malls in Bangkok to climate change in the Mekong Delta; from Aung San Suu Syi to Rodrigo Duterte; from Marguerite Duras to Viet Thanh Nguyen. It's essential reading for those with an interest in one of the most complex and dynamic regions of the world.

Hong Kong: Reports from the Protest
Featuring reports and essays from Antony Dapiran, Lok Man Law, Richard Heydarian, Michael Vatikiotis, Kong Tsung-gan, Paul French, Abby Seiff, Leung Rachel Ka Yin and more.
Hong Kong, 2019—millions of people with hard hats and umbrellas poured out of their shoebox apartments and office towers onto the streets of Asia’s financial capital. At stake was their freedom and what they saw as an attempt by communist China to take over their city. On the other side of the barricades, more than 30,000 police officers, supported by armed sympathisers, were determined to quell the uprising. The stage was set for one of the most dramatic civil conflicts of the decade.
These essays and book reviews, published in Mekong Review between June 2019 and February 2020, document a city in open rebellion.
