Popular Asian Writing
The current lists of popular Asian writing found in Eastlit are finally ready! As always we have included the most popular Asian fiction, poetry, artwork and non-fiction of the past seven and thirty days. The popular all time list has also been updated too. By popular request, we continue to provide direct links to the pieces on our lists.
All of this popular Asian writing and artwork can be accessed from the links on the page or by navigating through the links in the top bar, or you can use the Eastlit archive. It also gives you another chance read some of the less popular pieces. As we all know popular does not always mean best!
The first 2015 issue of Eastlit will be out around early January.
Please note that we have a policy of excluding all the covers, content pages, contributor lists etc from these statistics.
