China Syndrome

There seems to be a kind of fatality attending any communication between Chinese and Americans.  Here, Mr. Mu has sent his book to me, not in some exotic Chinese format, but in Windows Word.

Okay. I have that too.

Yet I have never been able to publish it the way he sends it to me. I have never been able to overcome the mysteries of publishing his incredible photographs with the text. And now the goddamn text doesn't fit on the blogger page format.

Maybe when communication travels through the ether from China to America it gets damaged somehow in crossing the international date line or gets warped by the Bermuda Triangle. I have no idea but it drives me nuts.
