![]() ![]() ![]() This book covers a lot of ground, and contains a web of stories which weave throughout the book. ![]() It is also a dense book, which requires some consideration and thinking through. I found it really hard to read for a long time, which meant I read this book in smaller doses than I would normally have - I think I might have read 3 or 4 books between starting and finishing this one (it took me a month to read, which is rare for me). The copy I have has ridiculously small font. He is primarily freelance, but becomes the New York Person for The New Yorker part way through the book. Hessler has moved on from being a Peace Corps English teacher in Fuling, and has stepped into a journalism role in Beijing. Oracle Bones is the second in Peter Hessler's China trilogy, and is quite a different book from his first. ![]()
