How Does One Dress to Buy Dragonfruit? True Stories… por Shannon Young
I'm not quite done with this book, but am eager to say that I've been enjoying it slowly. A very thoughtful collection of travel writing--such different experiences, such candor, such exquisite THOUGHT behind the writing... while the authors have all different backgrounds and focuses, they share a lovely reflective voice... making even a taxi ride extraordinary. While selecting my shelves for this, I felt compelled to put it in with spirituality. Certainly with self-development.
This is a fun, personal and honest memoire of a young American writer's experience of the Beijing Olympics. It is written in a fun and honest style, which makes it a fast and enjoyable read. Shannon is honest about her mixture of nervousness and excitement, the first impressions and unexpected surprises in this land that receive mostly negative media in USA. She comes to appreciate China by the end of her stay and see the people as people, rather than strange and foreign 'others.' I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in China or the Olympics.… (más)
