Ancient fortunetelling offers modern delights

The new Museworks Books' Year of the Rooster Pocket Chinese Almanac 2017 is out, and as fun as ever.

Co-translator and co-annotator Joanna C. Lee explains that the geomancer - or fortuneteller or diviner - she and her co-editor and husband Ken Smith use is Warwick Wong, a practicing architect who grew up in Hong Kong with a grandfather who supported the family by telling fortunes.

As Wong grew older and most of his Western-leaning peers were drifting away from traditional folk ways, he immersed himself in ancient Chinese divination, even while studying architecture at the University of Hong Kong.
