No City for Slow Men by Jason Y Ng
Author and blogger Jason Y Ng has a knack for making the familiar both fascinating and funny. Three years after his best-selling début "Hong Kong State of Mind", the razor-sharp observer returns with a sequel that is bigger and every bit as poignant. This is a collection of 36 essays that examine some of the pressing social, cultural and existential issues facing Hong Kong. It takes us from the gravity-defying property market to the plunging depths of old age poverty, from the storied streets of Sheung Wan to the beckoning island of Cheung Chau, from the culture-shocked Western expatriate to the misunderstood Mainland Chinese and the disenfranchised foreign domestic worker. The result is a treatise on Hong Kong life that is thought-provoking, touching and immensely entertaining.Jason Y.Ng is a lawyer, blogger, and newspaper columnist from Hong Kong who has lived in Europe, the United States, and Canada.
