“Hessler has a marvelous sense of the intonations and gestures that give life to the moment.” —The New York Times Book Review

From Peter Hessler, the New York Times bestselling author of Oracle Bones and River Town, comes Country Driving, the third and final book in his award-winning China trilogy. Country Driving addresses the human side of the economic revolution in China, focusing on economics and development, and shows how the auto boom helps China shift from rural to urban, from farming to business.

Review:
Extraordinary. . . . "Country Driving", like Hessler s previous works, tells the story of China s transformation powerfully and poetically. --"The Economist"

"Delightful. . . . Epic. . . . The reporting in "Country Driving" is impressive in its scope. . . . Hessler delivers eloquent disquisitions on everything from how to buy a used car in China to the history of the Mongol conquest."--Dwight Garner, "The New York Times"

Delightful. . . . Epic. . . . The reporting in "Country Driving" is impressive in its scope. . . . Hessler delivers eloquent disquisitions on everything from how to buy a used car in China to the history of the Mongol conquest. --Dwight Garner, "The New York Times""

Extraordinary. . . . "Country Driving," like Hessler s previous works, tells the story of China s transformation powerfully and poetically. --"The Economist""

A fascinating road trip through a land in transition. . . . Hessler s description of China s new drivers is hilarious. . . . Country Driving tells us as much about contemporary China even when Hessler is not on the road. --The Christian Science Monitor"

The best yet from Peter Hessler, whose two earlier books, River Town and Oracle Bones, were exemplary forays into the genre. . . . Told with his characteristic blend of empathy, insight, and self-deprecating humor. --Time"

Peter Hessler, a modern Marco Polo crossing China in a rented Jeep Cherokee, has witnessed signs and wonders worthy of a Coen brothers film. . . . Every so often, I read a book that upends my perceptions about a place. This is one of them. --Bloomberg News"

Hessler has made a career of interpreting contemporary China and, for my money, nobody does it better. . . . Hessler is a magnificent guide to this largely uncharted territory, witty, insightful, keenly aware of the ironies of this communist-capitalist society. --The Minneapolis Star Tribune"
Book Description:
A very accessible, often laugh-out-loud funny, always illuminating trip around one of the most fascinating countries in the world
