Phebe Gray Is Peter Hessler into Chinese history and Sinology? If so, which peirod of Chinese history does he specialize?
William Clark From the Publishers Weekly *starred* review of COUNTRY DRIVING: "In his latest feat of penetrating social reportage, New Yorker writer Hessler (Oracle Bones) again proves himself America’s keenest observer of the New China. ...a fascinating portrait of a society tearing off into the future with only the sketchiest of maps."
汗呐 oracle bones is the coolest book i have read this year.It combines sympathy and precious details.Thanks Mr. Hessler.
Tom We want more! Keep up the great work!
Ana I am a big fan of River Town, Oracle Bones, and all the New Yorker articles. I look forward to Country Driving! Ana Patel
William Clark COUNTRY DRIVING gets its second starred pre-pub review from Kirkus: "...The result is a remarkably detailed, engrossing account of China today. The human side of China’s great transformation, told with humor, affection and great insight." Congratulations, Peter!

I am trying to reach Peter. His book, Oracle Bones was a great inspiration for a recent artwork I am debuting in Shenzhen, China during the Shenzhen/Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture. I would like to invite him to the opening ceremony if he is nearby.

Zheng Xiang Read your article from New Yorker first, and then read your books. Even though thousands of readers already said to you that they loved your books, I wanna say again, I just so enjoy reading them, river town, oracle bones. I even dreamt of the places and people in your book, maybe that's because I havn't been home for a long time.
Caitlin Lu loved his book river town
Phebe Gray how is P.H's chinese proficiency? oral and/or written?
