Encounters with Chinese Writers

Fantastic read; as always Annie Dillard makes you see the world from a clear - and often uncomfortable - place with humour and a deft sense of the human condition. Highly recommended.

it was listed as in good condition and was an exlibrary book. the book is neither. disappointed.

This was a very good deal for the price.

Great encounters.

The encounter between Chinese and American writers takes place in 1982 and while some glimpses are timeless these are very much locked into a certain time and place both in China and the USA. China has certainly changed. As a Brit., not having been to the US my understanding of some of the exchanges are therefore limited. For me an interesting exchange but very much in a time warp.
