What China books are worth reading?
The once mysterious Middle Kingdom has long since been opened to the outside world, and where there was previously a dearth of good literature, there’s now a mountain of China books.
But not all of them are worth the time, especially for the casual reader. So for today’s episode we’ll sift out some of the most worthy titles for readers of varying interests.
Helping us to figure out what makes a good China book and to share some of their recommendations are Penguin China publicist Mengfei Chen and our old friend Alec Ash, China correspondent for the LA Review of Books and curator of The Anthill writer’s colony.
