I just received my copy of IMPRINT 2010, the Hong Kong Women in Publishing Society’s annual anthology.
I’ve been contributing to IMPRINT for several years and for the past few have held an ‘editorial’ position, which really just amounts to coming up with a quotation for the back cover.
This year’s is a Chinese proverb:
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.
In the 2010 edition, I crossed genres and cultures, abandoning my essays about cross-cultural relationships for a fictional piece about an aging Indian security guard working at a Hong Kong gold shop.
The book is filled with short stories, essays, memoirs, poems, photos, and drawings–some about Hong Kong or other parts of Asia, and some not.
If you’d like a free copy of IMPRINT 2010, please write a comment below. I’ll send a copy to the first person to write one!
Sounds great! You are into so many interesting things, Susan!
Thank you, Ellen! I just loved that link you posted in FB about Egypt. Have you read “The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit”? It’s about Jews who move from Cairo to the US. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my list!!
Would love to read about Hong Ko0ng and go there too! But reading about it would a great start.
Thanks, Carol. There are so many good books about Hong Kong. I’m sorry that someone already won the copy of the book, but if you’d like a copy of last year’s edition, please e-mail me your address (at susan@susanbkason.com) and I’ll send you a copy!

Yay! You won!! I think I have your address still, but if I don’t, I’ll e-mail you! Congratulations!!
