Popular Asian Creative Writing

Eastlit February 2015 Cover. Picture: Colombo Train by Gill Morris. Cover design by Graham Lawrence. Copyright photographer, Eastlit and Graham Lawrence.These are the new lists of popular Asian creative writing found in Eastlit. Apologies for being a little later than normal. We still include all the most popular Asian fiction, poetry, artwork and non-fiction of the most recent seven and thirty days. Our all time list of popular Asian creative writing has also been updated. Due to popular request, we continue to provide direct links to each piece in our lists.

All of this popular Asian creative writing and artwork can be read from the links on this page or you can make use of the links in the top menu. The Eastlit archive can be used, too. Hopefully it will also give you an opportunity to read some of the less read pieces. As we all know well read does not always mean the best!

The next issue of Eastlit in 2015 issue will be out around the end of February or start of March.

Please note that we have a policy of excluding all the covers, content pages, contributor lists etc from these statistics.
