Welcome to Wang Tong, a little village on an island in the South China Sea. No signs point there. Even the police can’t find it. A place with no cars, but water buffalo traffic jams. A place where nothing seems to happen, yet which once might have been the capital of the known world.
Meet Ah-Po, the kindly old farmer and her toy animal execution ground. Meet Uncle Six the cat man, and Mr. Lam, who escaped a horrifying event on the beach during the war. Meet a variety of other villagers, wildlife, and even some unwelcome intruders.
In this deeply felt trove of 80 linked essays and stories and over 90 color photos, award-winning cartoonist and author Larry Feign invites you into the place he called his world for thirty-two years.
