John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

What is the least important thing that you have ever worried about? One time, when I was 40 I bought the most amazing pair of reading glasses perfectly designed by brilliant Parisian ophthalmologists. They cost me around a thousand dollars, thin, gold rimmed, very well styled, perfect... and they dimmed in the sunshine, they cleared in the dark, they were good for reading and driving and writing, and I had them for a day and then lost them in Paris...I was never so much worried about the cost of such basically unnecessary things, I was just more worried that I had paid so much for something inessential. Never been back to the optometrists since. The world looks just fine to me anyway. I can see enough for my needs.
