From Library Journal:
After studying Mandarin so that he could communicate, Thubron traveled extensively on his own to many of the less visited (but no less interesting) places in China. Displaying a knack for recording conversations with the ordinary people he met on trains and in monasteries, Thubron is both perceptive and nonjudgmental. His book, reminiscent of Mark Salzman's Iron & Silk ( LJ 2/1/87), is less touristy than those of Paul Theroux and other travel writers. A top choice in a crowded field; for both public and academic libraries. Literary Guild alternate. Harold M. Otness, Southern Oregon State Coll. Lib., Ashland
