Description

Fiction, a series of short sketches made during a trip along the Yangtze River in 1919–1920, and although ostensibly about China, the book is equally focused on the various westerners met during the trip and their struggles to accept or adapt to the cultural differences they encounter, which are often as enormous and as alienating as the country itself, hardcover, 237 pages
