While We're Here (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789888273768)

Anyone who has lived in China has stories to tell. For foreigners and Chinese alike, this is a land that transforms itself every day, with something to write about on every corner. Collected in this anthology are 33 contributions, a mix of narrative non-fiction, fiction and poetry, from the writers' colony the Anthill (theanthill.org). Together, they offer glimpses into this quicksilver country-by turns funny, touching and bizarre. Whether we stay or leave, the stories remain.
