Middletown, CT:: Wesleyan University Press,, (1984.). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a very good dustjacket (price-clipped, some rubbing and minor edgewear and one short closed tear to the dj.). First printing. From the dust jacket: This "is full of fascinating people: Chinese people, mostly writers, who encounter American writers in various bizarre circumstances in both China and the U.S. . . . an evening with long-suffering Chinese intellectuals in their house; a scene in the Beijing foreigners' compound with an excited European journalist; and a scene of unwarranted hilarity at the Beijing Library. In the U.S., there is Allen Ginsberg having a bewildering conversation in Disneyland with a Chinese journalist. . . These are real stories told with a warm and lively humor, with a keen eye for paradox, and with fresh insight into the human drama." 106 pp. Illustrated endpapers.
