Imitating Art
Bu e-kitob haqida
A writer traveling in Asia settles down in a remote guesthouse in the off season. He needs a cheap and quiet place to write a crime story based on one he heard while working in a boatyard in the Caribbean. He’s got an idea of how to weave together the tale of a murderer who escaped prison and how he rebuilt a boat in Trinidad and started stealing.
When a bar girl takes an interest in his work, even making suggestions about how he can make the story more interesting to people, things around him get intriguing. When he spins out the story, just because the bar girl wants to hear it, fiction and reality blur together in a curious combination. And the outcome changes everything.

Ed Teja is a lifelong writer and denizen of the margins of the world. A former magazine editor and boat bum, his stories (mostly mysteries and thrillers) are about the people and places he knows -- the odd corners of the world that often disappear into the margins, and the amazing, often strange, people that inhabit those places.
He finds moving frequently, traveling slowly, a heady, addictive way to live and work.
