    Hong Kong Literature

    Hey,

    I'm a Dutch student of English, interested interested in Hong Kong Literature and how certain linguistic, social, political and historical inputs are negotiated through Hong Kong literature.

    At the moment I'm looking for Hong Kong literature written in English in which foreign language has also been used (for instance certain Cantonese or Mandarin words or phrases).

    Does anyone know any work by Hong Kong authors featuring this?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Isabelle

    Not too many it appears are steeped in HK Lit
    try Mohamed Cohen and Mike Rowse and of course there is the very verbose Vittachi
