Kan-Sperling joins to talk about her recent work, "Little Pink
Book: A Bad Bad Novel" (Archway Editions, 2025). "It’s like girl,
China, sex, postmodernism, conceptual romance—a book that sells
itself to you over and over and over again as you read it,” she
remarks. Published in parallel English/Chinese, the novel was
originally written to accompany a piece by Diane Severin Nguyen
show at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai. It now circulates as a
kind of Reena Spaulings (the novel) for the Exocapitalism era,
testing the limits of what fiction now is and what content could
be. Based in NYC, Olivia is the author of the Kendall Jenner x Lil
Peep fanfic, Island Time (Expat Press, 2022) as well as an
associate editor + regular contributor to The Paris Review. Her
words have also appeared and been channeled through outlets such as
Heavy Traffic, Viscose, Kaleidoscope, n+1, and Montez Press Radio,
among others. For more: @dianadiagram https://oliviaks.page/
