Inside Issue 31
To get a sense of what's in ALR31, read our selection of free-to-view articles. A good place to start is From the Editors.
Then come back and scroll down to the contents list below, where we feature an extract from Sebastian Sim's Let's Give It Up for Gimme Lao! For a taste of the issue's poetry, enjoy John Thiem's mischievous Chinese Checkers. We also offer two terrific interviews, where Xu Xi searches for Gordon Ashberry, the missing protagonist of That Man in Our Lives, while Krys Lee tell us about her new novel, How I Became a North Korean, set in the bleak borderlands of North Korea and China. And of course there's the fabulous artwork on our front and back covers, generously provided by Konstantin Bessmertny.
There's much more for subscribers - to read the rest of ALR31, take out an eBook subscription or a Print+eBook subscription, and we'll deliver four issues right to your door almost anywhere in the world, along with immediate downloads of our current and recent eBook issues.
Single copies are now available in print here, and as eBooks from Amazon in the UK and US.
