River Town
Two Years on the Yangtze
by Peter Hessler
Review this book!
Hessler's book is a memoir more of a city than of a man's experiences. Teaching English as a Peace Corps volunteer to the residents of Fuling, Hessler was inspired by the tenacity of his students and by the impact of the historical events that occurred during his tenure there. Winner of the 2001 Kiriamas Award for nonfiction and a New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
