| Author Muhammad Cohen launches his new book, Hong Kong on Air, at the Bookazine store (Prince’s Building) in Hong Kong’s Central Business District at 6:30 p.m. on September 14. News veteran Cohen tells an engaging, often hilarious, story. As Hong Kong’s 1997 handover boom fizzles into the Asian economic bust, a young American couple’s marriage and careers tumble into a maze of TV news, betrayal, high finance and cheap lingerie. For everyone whose work falls under China’s tall economic shadow, Hong Kong On Air gives a fresh angle on how it all began.
In 1995, Cohen, a New Yorker, moved to Hong Kong to work on the startup of CNBC Asia. Staying, he edited at The Standard newspaper and at Bloomberg News.
