Yiyun Li's Story

The Washington Post has published an article about short-story writer Yiyun Li's immigration woes. Bloggers Babies Are Fireproof are doing what they can to call attention to her plight while her case awaits appeal. I figured I'd chip in here. Pass the article on to anyone and everyone. She's a tremendous writer, extraordinary even, and we're lucky to have her in this country.

NB I don't know Yiyun personally, and though we have mutual friends, my knowledge of her comes primarily from reading her work. As a naturalized citizen myself, I've experienced the federal immigration bureaucracy firsthand, and it ain't pretty. Yiyun will need all the help/attention/support she can get.
