Read this book several years ago but really loved it. It is beautifully, honestly written and created a vivid picture of a largely unknown landscape. I am rarely in agreement with the Daily Telegrah but though it kills me , I find myself echoing their summary of ''human truthfulness and unforgettable moments''
Going forth in the Asian bookbox, hope it inspires someone to dream of landscapes new.

Has been on my list for a while and arrived in the Asian Bookbox.
Really enjoyed this. An interesting book, I wasn't sure as to what to expect. Ma Jian decides to go on the road after his inspiration had gone and the chances he would be picked up again was getting higher each day. His trip turns into a 3 year trek around the vast country of China, and into Chinese controlled Tibet. The book is the combination of a narrative and notes made from the trip.
His commentary is good, the people he met a good cross-section of Chinese (and minority) society. I especially enjoyed his forays into Tibet and Yunnan province.
I would thoroughly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book for the larger part, although it contains many gruesome images. I'm afraid to say that towards the end I started struggling with it and just skim read the last 40 pages

Taking to a bookcrossing meeting.
No takers at the meeting on Tuesday so I'm moving it on to the bookshelves at ACL Beeches Close, where it will almost certainly be picked up, though probably not journalled - I've not yet had anything journalled there and I've left a good few that have disappeared. It's good to know that the books are being taken though.
I would like to read it but there are too many other books waiting to be read.
