520 $aFor those who follow Chinese affairs, Han Han is as controversial as they come an irreverent singer, sports celebrity, and satirist whose brilliant blogs and books have made him a huge celebrity. Now, with this collection of his essays, Americans can appreciate the range of this rising literary star and get a fascinating trip through Chinese culture. "This Generation" gathers his essays and blogs dating from 2006 to 2012, telling the story of modern China through Han Han s unique perspective. Writing on topics as diverse as racing, relationships, the Beijing Olympics, and how to be a patriot, he offers a brief, funny, and illuminating trip through a complex nation that most Westerners view as marching in lockstep. As much a millennial time capsule as an entertaining and invaluable way for English readers to understand our rising Eastern partner and rival, "This Generation" introduces a dazzling talent to American shores.
