Title: Rivertown: 2 years on the Yangtze
Review: Peter Hessler is a well-educated Peace Corps volunteer who was sent to China to teach English at a local teacher's college. He very vividly captures the ups and downs of his experience for 2 years beginning in 1996. He was sent to Fuling, a primitive city, where the people are not familiar with Westerners. Peter describes his unusual experiences in the first person as well as giving the reader a glimse into Chinese thought, language, politics and culture. The book is quite interesting although it sounds like a documentary.
