Chinese Characters
The good people at the excellent Browser.com website recently asked me to contribute a (biographies and memoirs) to their "Five Books" feature. I was
delighted to be able to do this, but quickly found it a challenge to
limit myself to just a quintet of suggested works. Limiting myself to
books focusing on the last couple of centuries helped a bit, but I
still ended up having to leave out four favorite books: Robert Bickers', Henrietta Harrison's,Sang Ye's,and Lijia Zhang's Now, having begun to read and finding myself greatly impressed by a brand new book, Joseph Esherick's,
I've got a final title to make my list of works that
could've-been-chosen, a list exactly as long as my list of
actually-chosen books. Now, I'll have a top ten list ready to
go--should Browser.com ever decide to offer hungry readers beefed up
editions of their lists, as a kind of online counterpart to the longer
director's cuts of films that sometimes come out on DVD.
