| Summary, etc |
Following up on his memoir, RIVER TOWN, Peter Hessler continues his canvas of modern-day China as he travels across its breadth, reporting on the changes the country and its people are going through. Having working for a decade as a correspondent for, it seems, any newspaper that would publish him, Hessler presents revealing portraits of farmers, workers, students, scholars, and others, including an intriguing sketch of the Chinese scholar Chen Mengjia, whose book on oracle bones and China's plundered art is itself an artifact of China's Cultural Revolution, in which he lost his life. Hessler records China's emerging future while honoring the persistence of its past. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year for 2006. |
