Benny Chia’s memoir of life on the fringe is a vivacious slice of Hong Kong’s life and cultural development at a time of minimal institutional support. His colourful and anecdotal story will interest culture practitioners as well as the general reader curious about the Fringe Club and its role as a seedbed for local artists and as a venue for international ones, both functions championed by Benny at the helm of this small but important institution housed in a distinctive former ice house in Central.

‘Benny Chia, founder of the Fringe Club and champion of cultural policy, is a revered pioneer. To me, his forty-year love affair with the Fringe is the best Hong Kong success story in terms of cultural exchange and arts engagement. This compelling memoir reveals the secrets behind Benny’s achievements – his unparalleled qualities as an artist, manager, entrepreneur, intellectual, connector and friend.’
