About this title

Synopsis

The author describes her experiences as part of a group of American writers meeting with Chinese authors in China and the United States

Review

"Keenly observed, often comic encounters"--Andrea Barnet, New York Times Book Review

"A splendid little book."--Dennis Drabelle, Washington Post Book World

"Dillard distills her encounters in lively anecdotes, sketches and vignettes. Her charm lies in the simplicity of her storytelling, the way she conveys in sidelong hints the deep love the older Chinese writers . . . still feel for their country, and communicates her sense of the universals underlying cultural differences"--Publishers Weekly
