In past years, we rarely saw authors who live overseas at the 蜜柚直播 Festival of Books. One reason is that it was often prohibitively expensive to fly these authors to 蜜柚直播.
That isn鈥檛 a problem when the festival is virtual as it is this year. Some authors will be available to readers in presentations even though they are in other countries. Isn鈥檛 technology wonderful?
