I am ECSTATIC to hear about the closure of the Beijing Bookworm. It was always a place for the pretentious. Trust fund kids typing on MacBooks writing bullshit lifestyle pieces for expat magazines nobody read. Just walking into the place meant you could feel the smugness.pic.twitter.com/fEXmWXMjwm
It was a festering pit of shit-faced Blue Checks and their grovelling wannabe groupies. A bunch of know-nothings calling themselves “China Hands” while jerking each other off and liking each other’s tweets.pic.twitter.com/YOA21MnkKa
This FB message - in complete sincerity - describes The Bookworm as a “safe space” Yep. It was a safe space alright. A safe space for the weak-minded to purchase mindnumbing books devoid of content and pat themselves on the back for buying reusable tote bags. Hakan we miss you.pic.twitter.com/wJ94srf2tf
Any place that includes the likes of obese shoggoth James Palmer and dried-up gaping cunt caverns like Leta Hong Fincher deserves to be demolished, destroyed and its remains expunged from this good Earth. Well done China for removing this insidious hive of smug mediocrity.pic.twitter.com/OEDwUlBqGo
We will all miss the hatchet-faced feminist roundtables and the efforts to promote what “people of colour” have to say about the China experience. My only wish now is for the Beijing govt to build a giant Xi Jinping statue over the remains to piss all over the Bookworm’s “legacy”pic.twitter.com/70Mj5EVivQ
PS: Before anyone thinks that The Bookworm was some holier-than-thou force for good, I can tell you all with 100% accuracy that they never paid small publishers for books sold & would ignore invoices regularly. They scammed many writers & publishers out of money Good riddance
Last word on the Beijing Bookworm from a friend: “The food was middling & pretentious - just like their customers. Elaborate desserts but no simple pastries or even cookies. What kept me coming back were the hot Chinese women who wanted to fuck white guys.” Says it all, really.
The last time the watchers all got together to whine like this was when the horrible sexpat bar row was replace with an upright community development centered around a bookstore so I’m definitely getting mixed messages here.
MAO WOULD BURN THIS
