The Mirror of Kong Ho
by Ernest Bramah
On This Page
Description
British author Ernest Bramah was a solitary man who did not relish the fame his writing brought him. Over the course of his career, Bramah explored a number of different genres, excelling in many of them. A touchstone of his career was his abiding love of Asian culture, which he explores in The Mirror of Kong Ho, a collection of slyly hilarious stories told in letters home from Kong Ho, a Chinese national who is visiting London..

I like Bramah's Max Carrados detective stories (about a blind detective) and the Kai Lung stores about Chinese storyteller, but I do not care much for this book, which is one of a genre of stories given presumably comic accounts of western civilization as seen from a supposedly Asian viewpoint.
