Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, (1984.) dj. Hardcover first edition - 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. ISBN: 0-8195-51309.
