For the past several months I’ve made allusions to being too busy to blog due to a “big project” I was working on. Now, after about ten months, I can tell you all about it.
Behind the Red Door: Sex in China is the title of my new book that will be published by Earnshaw Books on September 1. It’s the first book I’ve written and was undoubtedly the most arduous, enlightening, demanding, enjoyable, challenging and exhilarating experience of my life to date.
To my knowledge, there is no comparable book on the market — a book that tells the story of sex in China in a format designed for the general reader. After I agreed to write the book, I immersed myself in every piece of information I could find. I tracked down both out-of-print and contemporary textbooks, the most recent studies written for scholars by scholars, white papers, graduate theses, newspaper articles, online resources, anything that I felt could give me fresh insights into this immense subject. For months, I simply sifted through my materials, taking notes and trying to break down complex issues into a cohesive narrative that would be accessible to all.

I don't like Richard Burger. Richard Burger doesn't like me.
While I find his Politics objectionable, I do appreciate Richard's talents.
However, his proselytistic posts are always dogmatic, never swaying form the left and are way too much for me, He completely rejects any other proposition, especially by the Right, that may be spot on. Nonetheless, Richard is young and bright, and should be read. He has, in my opinion, penned some brilliant posts. While I am much farther right, Richard has made huge contributions to the ExPat community and should be recognized for his talent and work.
I just now placed my order for his new book. I strongly suggest that you also reserve a copy as this should be a must read for anyone of either persuasion, Right or Left, Expat or no, and an enjoyable, straight forward, informative read about sex in China.
Personally, I am looking forward to receiving my copy of "Behind the Red Door; Sex in China" by Richard Burger.
