I've just finished reading Akiko Tetsuya's new book The Last Star of the East: Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia and Her Films. It is simply amazing, and I highly recommend it to all fans of HK cinema. By structuring the book as interviews with Brigitte, with her friends and colleagues, and with Brigitte and her friends together, Akiko succeeds in painting a well-rounded and intimate portrait. With her fact-checking skills as a journalist and committed passion as a fan, she has created a truly unique publication. I really felt like I was sitting in the presence of Brigitte when I was reading this book. There are also many wonderful black-and-white and color photographs and movie stills, including candid shots of Brigitte taken during the interviews. You can buy this handsomely self-published book directly from Akiko at http://akikospace.com/.
