Really great to get my complementary copy of 'Heaven, Hell and Everything In-Between' edited by Vera Cuntz-Leng, in which I have a chapter where I apply the concept of 'bromance capital', to the celebrity text of the Sheen/Tenant combo.

Lovely to receive my complementary copy of the Routledge Handbook of Chinese Media (2nd edn), edited by Ming-Yeh Rawnsley, Yiben Ma, and Gary Rawnsley. I had a good time writing a chapter on online Chinese celebrities and authenticity. taylorfrancis.com/chapters/e…
