New Yorker staff writer Peter Hessler makes this welcome return to read from his third and newest account of travels through China, Country Driving: A Journey Through China from Farm to Factory (HarperCollins). "On the road in China with Hessler as he explores the remnants of its dying rural past and its booming, uncertain urban future. The author received his Chinese driver's license in 2001 and set off on a 7,000-mile journey following the twists and turns of the Great Wall...he explored the great expanses of China's north and northwest, areas largely left behind in the country's surge of economic development ... The result is a remarkably detailed, engrossing account of China today. The human side of China's great transformation, told with humor, affection, and great insight." – Kirkus Reviews. Peter Hessler's earlier books are River Town and Oracle Bones.
