Encouraged by the success of Alex Kuo's Lipstick and Other Stories, which received an American Book Award in 2002, we have continued to search out writers off the beaten path, and, in our own small way, to hack at the conventions of publishing. Bill Purves's China on the Lam is literally a trek through China from North to South by rice paddy trails. Ray Hu's Brave Land follows ordinary people on a unconventional journey through the incredible history of Twentieth Century China. In A Small Place in the Desert, Christopher New goes where Hong Kong literary publishing has never gone before, to Egypt, while Barry Kalb's first novel Cleaning House makes prophetic fun of a mysterious virus that threatens the human race.
