Book synopsis

In its latest collection, the Hong Kong Writers Circle examines the different ways we measure our lives. Short drinks, a right-angled triangle, how the depth of the ocean changes fortune -- these 36 fiction and non-fiction vignettes are the long and the short of some of Hong Kong's best English writing this year.Praise for previous Hong Kong Writers Circle anthologies: "Hotel China ... a good-natured, pulpy romp." - CNN Go"Love and Lust's appeal lies in the hybrid mixture of its contributors; their cultural perspectives resulting in widely differing (and often hilarious) takes on the theme." -- HK Magazine"Sweat and the City is an outstanding collection of Hong Kong short storiesthat inspires the budding writer and rewards readers." -- South China Morning Post
