Larry Feign is well-known to every Hongkonger as the creative genius behind the Lily Wong comic strip and books. The eagerly-awaited 'Hongkongitis' is Larry's first new book in several years Hongkongitis is ... an incurable affliction that causes one to secretly love Hong Kong while complaining loudly about it. While everyone else in Hong Kong was out doing real jobs, writer and cartoonist Larry Feign put together this collection of true but ridiculous facts, observations and stupid scientific theories about the most hyperventilating, oddly loveable city on earth. In Hongkongitis, Larry shares his latest thoughts, discoveries and stupid scientific theories about Hong Kong, including The Unified Wah Theory, the Chinese Garbage Principle, proposals to make Chinglish the official language of the United Nations and to move the Vatican to Kwai Chung, plus the mystery of why Chinese desserts are so yucky. "Larry Feign goes well beyond amusing -- he's sharp to the point of something damn near painful. If you want a different take on Hong Kong that really means something, read this book." -- Stephen Vines Larry Feign is a writer, cartoonist and animation director who has lived in Hong Kong since 1985. His cartoons have appeared in over 100 publications around the world. He has produced and directed animation for Disney, Cartoon Network and others.
