Abstract:
The Mysterious East described itself as a "fair, hard-hitting and lively" magazine that "[objected] to the vulgar, the pompous and the dishonest." It published in-depth, provocative and critical articles that focused on important political, social and economic issues of the region, as well as published book reviews and interviews with Maritime craftspeople.
The monthly Rubber Duck Award was especially scathing, naming and shaming people, corporations, governments, or institutions that had committed an "astonishing act of foolishness, incompetence or knavery" or general "numbskullduggery."The "winners" often responded in writing, with those responses published the next month.
