When I started conceptualizing my new role as an investigative correspondent, I knew one of the stories I wanted to dig into was how & why extreme pro-Beijing narratives are hardening within parts of multicultural Singapore, my home. Here is what we found: washingtonpost.com/world/interact…

"I was so young, virginal but precocious, the kind of sexually inexperienced woman who constantly cracked dirty jokes and talked about sex. I thought it was a game I was allowed to play." Jerrine Tan nytimes.com/2023/09/15/sty…

Stunning essay today: "I always wrote off my husband’s promises to protect me in my moments of despair because I assumed he meant he was prepared to do so physically, an engagement with masculinity that I dislike. But I had not understood his meaning." nytimes.com/2023/09/15/sty…

Missed this somehow! Grateful for @bonnie_honig ‘s work in the world and so thrilled to be in the same cluster especially after I took several grad seminars with her at Brown University !

"As loneliness becomes a global epidemic, a LOVOT robot, which does no work and instead demands care, could be just what we need to rehabilitate our atrophying emotional muscles." Jerrine Tan visits a LOVOT robotics lab and is unexpectedly enchanted. lareviewofbooks.org/article/ask-no…

A year ago I was invited to Tokyo to give a talk on Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun. I fell in love with a little robot myself and wrote about A.I. and humanity for Los Angeles Review of Books Thank you to Michele Pridmore-Brown for working with me! LOVOT OFFICIAL lareviewofbooks.org/article/ask-no…

Jerrine Tan weighs in on twenty years of Infernal Affairs in Film Quarterly's latest QUORUM post filmquarterly.org/2023/10/25/inf…

“Not merely another triad or undercover cop film, INFERNAL AFFAIRS offers a powerful extended meditation on Hong Kong’s complex identity and the geopolitical shifts of power set in motion by the 1997 handover.” Jerrine Tan (Jerrine Tan) Film Quarterly filmquarterly.org/2023/10/25/inf…

filmquarterly.org/2023/10/25/inf… Proud to share this essay, on one of my fav films of all time, Infernal Affairs, in which I situate the trilogy within Hong Kong's political history. Thank you to the editors of Film Quarterly & @girishshambu editor of Quorum for believing in this piece.

So pleased to share this incredibly insightful review by @mealy_potatoes which I edited for ASAP/Journal , on Dan Sinykin ‘s “Big Fiction” and Xander Manshel ‘s “Writing Backwards.” Such a great pairing!

"Suddenly, the privileged chosen one — the imperialist who is also the Christ figure — becomes the suffering victim deserving of sympathy." Jerrine Tan on "Dune" (2021), alt-victimhood, and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." lareviewofbooks.org/article/fear-i…

"The protest is turning violent - all violence is done by the police". How painful and yet familiar to watch the global symptom of police brutality

Today, August 14, marks the International Memorial Day for "Comfort Women," during which we honor and remember the thousands of women forced into sexual servitude by the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII, and continue to call for justice for today's survivors.❤️‍🩹

Next, read "The Problem of Silence" by Jerrine Tan, originally published on January 15, 2020: “If silence can always be (mis)interpreted as “yes,” and speech has no meaning, what resistance is available?” aaww.org/problem-of-sil…

Today marks one year since Among the Braves was published. Surreal to think of what the book chronicles -- the rapid decline of democracy, the hypocrisy of the Trump administration and its China policies, young people risking everything for their beliefs -- in today's context
