I seems like an enormous mental shift to think in ideograms rather than letters. I don't think I'd have the brain power to remember so many new things. As for my own story in Chinese and English, I will scan it and put it up on this site soon so you can read it to the end. I'll ask my dad to e-mail you the link when it's up. The book itself may not be so easy to get hold of. I was just sent one copy, and the British Council do not sell it directly. They tell me the publishers are called The People’s Literature Publishing House and they can be contacted at: No. 166 Chaonei Najie, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China; Post code: 100705. The ISBN number is: 978-7-02-006925-5. Good luck with your studies! Vicky Hi Victoria,

The full list of contributors for this volume is as follows: Niall Griffiths, Lawrence Norfolk, Martin Ouvry, Romesh Gunesekera, Frances Gapper, Donald Paterson, Fay Weldon, Kamila Shamsie, Emily Perkins (and me). I was paid a small fee (£50) and I received a contract via the British Council, but it did take an awfully long time from that point before the book itself appeared. The ISBN number for this volume is 978-7-02-006925-5. It's not available on Amazon as far as I can see, but I've been told by the British Council that the Chinese publishers can be contacted directly. They are called The People’s Literature Publishing House, and the address: No. 166 Chaonei Najie, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China, Post code: 100705. Best of luck!
