I live, and I have lived for more than twenty years, in a very liberal, small academic town in what must be the most liberal state in America-Massachusetts.

I am an American and have been one for more than a quarter of a century-but, as you all know, appearances can be deceiving. And I would also like to thank this conference-from a very personal point of view-for inviting me to participate in it because the invitation helped me-in a rather unexpected way, I confess-to clarify and define to some extent what I think of myself by understanding what others seem to think of me. I remember writing to Jill Martin and commending her and all those involved in organizing this conference for the very idea of hosting a conference of this nature. I would like to thank the British Council of Hong Kong and the Department of English of Hong Kong University for creating the idea of this conference in the first place. For that I would like to thank the organizers and the staff. To begin with, let me tell you that this is one of the best-organized conferences that I have had the pleasure of participating in (and I have been to many).
