In this collection of pieces, Simon Leys has something to say, and what he has said remains impressive. When he was alive he loved Chinese culture, despite the fact that it was ruined by the totalitarian state. He refused to be a narrow expert, and wrote memorably about Balzac, Gide, Orwell, Chesterton, and many others. A fine book to own and read.

''The Western incapacity to grasp the Soviet reality and all its Asian variants was not a failure of information, it was a failure of imagination."

In this collection of pieces, Simon Leys has something to say, and what he has said remains impressive. When he was alive he loved Chinese culture, despite the fact that it was ruined by the totalitarian state. He refused to be a narrow expert, and wrote memorably about Balzac, Gide, Orwell, Chesterton, and many others. A fine book to own and read.

Truly a Renaissance man, Simon's unfailing intelligence, consummate literature taste, and above all his perceptive clairvoyance over communist horror at a time when the larger world was still mesmerized in their romanticization of Mao's Red China, make his writings a treasure of humanity and a constant reminder of man's failings.
