This book's all black and white and doesn't have anything on it but the title and my name. Why? I'm not qute sure, except it may reflect the place where I wrote it and my stark ignorance. Or perhaps it's about precision and clarity. Or maybe extreme simplicity. One thing for sure, working in a Mainland Chinese environment, even for someone relatively well-acquainted with East Asia, sets you back on yourself. You really have to deeply question what's right and what's wrong and what (and who) you are. I suppose it's the sort of expereince where you can solidify your notions against the objective facts until it all blows over and you're safely home again, or you can internalize and attempt to understand from square one. Being the sort of creature I am, I took the latter path. More or less. Even the who is new here. Who knew?
