Title: Oracle Bones: A Journey Through Time in China
Author: Peter Hessler
Publisher: HarperCollins
Year: 2006
528 pages
In some ways I enjoyed this more than Hessler's first China book, River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze. Oracle Bones alternates between personal, historical, and political narratives that usefully reflect each other. It is often funny and frequently poignant. Read River Town first.
