Product Description
As the author since 2002 of the "Ich Bin Ein Beijinger" column for theBeijinger magazine, Kaiser Kuo has gained a devoted following as one of the most astute, mordant and well-informed chroniclers of life in the Chinese capital.
In this collection of his best essays from the magazine, Kuo, a native of upstate New York, draws on the unique experiences and insight gained in the course of 13-plus years' residence in Beijing - as a rock star, journalist, multinational executive and doting dad - to create a poignant, humorous and delightfully engaging portrait of contemporary Beijing and its "lazy, prideful, garrulous and potty-mouthed" residents whom the author also praises as, "the warmest, best-humored and most easygoing people in all of China."
This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to discover the real Beijing.
