An Upside-Down Perspective of SF,
By
This review is from: Silent Traveller in San Francisco (Hardcover)
As a child you dug in the sand at the beach and claimed that you'd soon reach China, right? Yee Chiang has done just this, from the opposite perspective. For the western reader, Yee Chiang, a scholar, an intrepid traveler, a Chinese wandering western lands, comes up with the most surprising perspectives and connections, some quaint (terribly so) and some disturbing. Published in 1964, all still applies. A lovely knock off axis for those who take for granted America's most fascinating city.
