An Asian at my table - Raybon Kan
Comics, Jokes, Funny Stories / Non-Fiction
Known for his witty newspaper columns and stand-up comedy, Raybon Kan is a New Zealand born Chinese, the only one in his family, being the youngest son of immigrants. In this collection of musings, many of which have appeared in print before, he looks at the eccentricities and frustrations of Kiwi Life through a wry and colourful lens. From having his prose featured on a Bursary English paper for analysis, rating higher than Shakespeare in that it was a compulsory, rather than optional questions, to pondering Auckland's dire transport situation. No subject is too sacred or controversial for him, yet he agues his point in a gentle, pondering way, which is a treat after the diatribes of so many other columnists.
