Chasing Mimesis in China
Foreword to the Chinese Edition of Wanting
Below is the new foreword I wrote for the Chinese edition of my book WANTING: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life, published by CITIC—I’m sharing it exclusively in English with you here. I thought I’d publish it in this space since it contains some pre-history to the events that open the book, and many readers originally found this newsletter because of it.
Thank you, as always, for reading.
