Wrapping up the Rat’s Year
In a bit less than a moon from now (January 26 th to be precise), it will be 春节 (Chun Jie) or Chinese New Year. It will be the year of the Ox, a slow-paced, hard-working animal, while 2008 was the year of the Rat —and in more than one way. Being not only the mount of Ganesha, Hindu God of the beginnings, the Rat is a talented quick-witted and industrious little creature who was said, in ancient Chinese tales1 to have outwitted the other animals and robbed the Ox of the first place on...

Dans un peu moins d’une lune à partir d’aujourd’hui (le 26 janvier pour être exact), arrivera 春节 (Chun Jie) ou le Jour de l’an Chinois.

Read MoreCircle of Eights
The book has arrived this morning! It’s a compilation of the stories we’ve started to write about a year ago (Sept. 12 2007 to be accurate) at 8 hands (Tracy’s, Lee Muir’s, Jib’s and mine).

It is much more than one story actually, and quite difficult to summarize as it’s...
