The new Verso catalog - not yet up at their website - is just off press. Prominently announced on p. 5 is City On Fire: Hong Kong Cinema, by listero Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes. The text won't scan because of a prominent graphic behind it, but here's what Andrew Ross says: "A tour-de-force analysis of Hong Kong's film genres, which profiles a city with no time to recover, from its own high-speed car chase through late capitalist development."

So tell us about the book, Michael.
