Sobre este artículo
Boston.: Houghton Mifflin.. 1983.. Black and white line illustrations, 64pp, spine a little faded, good hardback copy in dustjacket. 19 x 13.5cm. "Paul Theroux sailed down the Yangtze with a party of American millionaires. If this at time surprised the Chinese - which it did - both the idiosyncrasies of the company and the impressions of China itself provided rich material for the kind of perceptive, witty writing at which the author excels.
One hesitates, in a Chinese context, to describe the book as 'sweet sour', but there could be worse descriptions: good-humouredly observant on the foibles of his fellow countrymen, on the Chinese future he is often disquietingly apprehensive. The text is stylishly complemented by Patrick Procktor's black and white illustrations." Dustjacket blurb. .
