A window into the life of an influential figure in Hong Kong's arts and theater world. Benny Chia's memoir of life on the fringe is a vivacious slice of Hong Kong's life and cultural development at a time of minimal institutional support. His colorful and anecdotal story will interest culture practitioners as well as the general reader curious about the Fringe Club and its role as a seedbed for local artists and as a venue for international ones, both functions championed by Benny at the helm of this small but important institution housed in a distinctive former icehouse in Central.
