Recently we chatted with Woon Tai Ho about his mountain top scent experience in Bhutan. His latest book is Riot Green. Riot Green is about a child prodigy – an artist who creates a famed painting called Riot Green.
Book Review
Riot Green steps into the enthralling world of Chinese spirituality set against a breathtaking canvas of human avarice and physiological manipulation. Woon has given us the ultimate backdoor pass into the underbelly of the art world in Asia. A fascinating read on many levels.
