In sad news for punters at the Bookworm Literary Festival, Peter Hessler has confirmed he will not be able to attend the event for personal reasons.

Last week Hessler’s two events – In Conversation (March 12) and Beijing Through a Lens (March 13) – were rescheduled, but the venue has now confirmed Hessler will not be making it to Beijing.

Ticket holders should contact the Bookworm for refund details.

Since we’ll be missing out on seeing the man himself, it’s worth having a read of this recent interview on the WORLDHUM site, in which Hessler talks about his new book Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory.
