of Short Stories by the Hong Kong Writers Circle, and the Singapore Writers
Group presents four faces of each city: the changing city; the historic city;
the mystical city; the capricious city.
There are twenty three stories in the collection, which has been co-edited by
Alice Clark-Platts, and S. Micky Lin, from the Singapore Writers Group, and
Edmund Price and Harmony Sin, from the Hong Kong Writers Circle. Here, Alice Clark-Platts gives a glimpse of how the collaboration
worked.
