Media Reviews
Honest, raw, insightful. . . . The Chinese equivalent of On the Road, - Time [Ma's] powers of description make every page buzz with life. . . . Someone who could rank among the great travel writers. - The New York Times Book Review A Sino-beatnik travelogue, [and] a fascinating search for self. - Mother Jones Red Dust is a tour de force, a powerfully picaresque cross between the sort of travel book any Western author would give his eye-teeth to write, and a disturbing confession. - The Independent (UK) Ma captures the feel of wandering off China's beaten track, which is to say most of the country, far from the tour buses and souvenir stands. - Los Angeles Times From the Trade Paperback edition.
