For Neville "Bunt" Mullard and his mother, Betty, Hong Kong is part of Britain - one of the pleasanter parts; it is also cozy, monotonous, profitable, and homely. Now ninety-nine years of colonial rule are about to end, and the British government is about to hand over Hong Kong to China. Betty and Bunt can see China from their parlor, but they have never been there. They detest Chinese food. "The Chinese take-away, " as they call the Hand-over, does not particularly concern them. When Bunt first meets Mr. Hung, a well-spoken gentleman from the Chinese mainland, he pays him little heed. And when Mr. Hung offers the Mullards a handsome sum for their family business - a fifty-year-old textile factory, Imperial Stitching, that was cofounded by Bunt's late father - Bunt refuses him out of hand. Yet it soon grows clear that Mr. Hung is different from the Chinese the Mullards have lived alongside for years. For Mr. Hung will accept no refusals. Then a young woman from the Mullards' factory vanishes, one of many disappearances. But this one is different. Ah Fu has last been seen in the company of Mr. Hung. And so Bunt is forced for the first time in his forty-three years to make decisions that matter. He even begins, maybe, to discover love. Yet against all of Bunt's good, if half-formed, intentions are pitted the will of Mr. Hung and the looming threat of the ultimate betrayal.

Kowloon Tong : A Novel

Paul, Theroux

A new novella and four new short stories from Will Self (his first since 1999's Tough, Tough Toys for Tough, Tough Boys), which see him return to the disturbing and ruckled terrain of his bestselling first collection. Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe is another warped window on the wibbly-wobbly world of fear and fun that Self - like some malevolent deity - has fashioned over the years.

Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe

WILL SELF

A clear, well written, and informative account of Buddhism's history, and the basic concerns of Buddhists. Many surveys of Buddhism are unsuccessful because they either cater exclusively to specialists, or condescend to the general reader by presenting Buddhism as a kind of self-help alternative. Lopez presents Buddhism as a religion with a history, to which ordinary people have turned for the means to confront, control or even escape the exigencies of life. The emphasis is on actual lived practice, and the book is full of Buddhist stories: sometimes miraculous, sometimes humourous. Chapter include: The Universe; The Buddha; The Dharma (Buddhist doctrine); Monastic Life; Lay Practice; Enlightenment.
