"Black's love letter is one of the best introductions to a country and a state that you might read" Art Review Asia. "Unlike anything else I've read." Stephen’s writing is not easily defined; yet accessible. He juggles fragile private worlds, steely global realities, observations about life; and all kinds of sensuality, especially food. He has said that he is very interested in creating an experience between the page and the reader; an experience that could be emotional, educational, thought-provoking or simply entertaining.
