Peter Hessler, a native of Columbia, Missouri, began his interest in China as a Peace Corps volunteer in the late 1990s. He has since lived in Beijing for most of a decade. His first book, River Town, is concerned with geography or sense of place; Oracle Bones is about history or sense of time. His lecture will center on Lishui, a small city in southeastern China that produces goods for export to the United States and Europe. Hessler is a keen observer of local entrepreneurs, factory workers, and migrants--their culture, attitudes, and daily challenges in one of the most economically vibrant countries in the world. This event, sponsored by Lee Institute, is free and open to the public; books for signing may be purchased from Left Bank Books and at the event.
