    by Larry Feign

    THE VILLAGE AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD is a memoir of linked essays about an artist's life in a remote village on an island in the South China Sea. No signs point there.

It was love maybe not at first sight, but by the second sight began a love affair that lasted for decades.
