“… a marvellous, moving piece of writing, and a stark reminder that ordinary people are always blown hither and thither by the tides of history, over which they have no control”
Lyn Gardner @StagedoorLDN review of Forgotten 遗忘
↓
As a multi-form writer, Daniel has written for theatre, film, interdisciplinary poetry and dance, and in prose in numerous articles – including for Media Diversified, the Guardian, Independent, Prospect Magazine and Time Magazine – as well as in the best-selling essay collection, The Good Immigrant (“a tender, ruefully comic piece about growing up a “lonely half-Chinese schoolboy in the West Country”)

“The strongest piece is Daniel York Loh’s Big White Cop – a spurt of righteous anti-racist fury, punchy and vivid in its rhythms, performed with an unwavering eye by Jennifer Lim “
The Stage
"Daniel York Loh’s hungry for a lie: a thoughtful, barbed consideration of Asian representation, racist love and online misinformation…”
The Upcoming
“If ever racism is primarily viewed through the singular lens of the vitriolic kind, then through this binary, York Loh explores others in an erudite and revelatory fashion…”
