Today on LitPark.com,meet Xujun Eberlein, a tremendous writer and social commentator, who has just published her first book, Apologies Forthcoming. This collection of short stories features relationships that are complicated by China's Cultural Revolution: lovers who can't be together, a family that hides a child's death from her grandmother, and children who have come to enjoy the thrill of brutality.

We'll talk about these stories, this time in China's history, as well as Xujun's journey to publication. I hope you enjoy the interview and join the conversation!
