Journal Entry 1 by UrbanSpaceman from Strasbourg, Alsace France on Friday, July 22, 2005
Bought to give me an 'X' for the A-Z Challenge.

An interesting book, as much as for the insight it gives in to China as anything else. The last story, In An Instant, was very different from the others, though, and, I thought, didn't sit easily in the same volume,

Got this from urbanspaceman at meetup last night. Am looking forward to reading it. Will release it next week, possibly in Bella Bella. I read this coming down The Hill into Bella Coola and on the ferry to Shearwater (an airforce base during WWII)The stories are beautifully written - crafted. They are definitely in the 'literature' category and give a gentle entre into Chinese thought patterns.

RELEASE NOTES:

The hotel manager wanted to read this first and she said she would put it on the reading shelf in the laundramat because there are more readers there. (The hotel guests are focussed solely on fishing, she said.)
