Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Marco, > Dear Ken, > > The article Shen-Magic in which forthcoming book will it be published in? I've been calling this book One Square Inch for the past five years while it's been coming into being. It remains to be seen what it is called after it passes through the ancestral aperture and arrives in bookstores. It's a book about Daoist sexual alchemy and its relationship to medical thinking and theory. > > Yours or a compilation? The three books that Yuhuan and I did for Paradigm, Who Can Ride the Dragon?, A Brief History of Qi, and One Square Inch (which should be out next year...I hope!) are similar in that they are compilations of texts, ancient and modern, and for the most part Chinese in origin, that deal with the subject at hand. But using the COMP designation, they're all original works. > > and what is the tentative name of the book? As above, One Square Inch. We'll see if that survives. Ken PS. I'll go and post that little bit now. I feel a little embarassed to have made such a fuss about it. It's just a few random thoughts at this point. But I know that something from this will make it into the final version of the manuscript. Then it's in the hands of the editor! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
