Paul Theroux left Victoria Station on a rainy Saturday in April thinking that taking eight trains across Europe, Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mongolia would be the easy way to get to the Chinese border - the relaxing way, even. He would read a little, take notes, eat regular meals and gaze contentedly out of windows. The reality, of course, was very different. In fact, Theroux experienced a decidedly odd and unexpected trip to China that set the challenging tone for his epic year-long rail journey around that vast, inscrutable land - a journey which involved riding nearly every train in the country. 'Wry, humorful and occasionally querulous...as Theroux makes excruciatingly clear, travelling alone in the Middle Kingdom is not for the faint of heart or stomach' - "Time".

paul 这本书和之前看过的arthur miller的北京工作经历那本书有着类似的描述视角,神秘国度,古老落后,站在某个高度指手画脚,作者对spitting和厕所有着某种变态的迷恋,潜台词中更是充满对社会发达程度的鄙视,最后一段旅行中的Mr Fu是让我看乐的角色,人物的描述丰满有趣。总体给4分,写作风格没得说,但文字背后的不屑令人厌恶。
评分没有读完,有点太长了,但内容很吸引人。从另一个角度看自己。
评分绝对的好书,喜欢Paul笔下的中国
