A Danish novelist travels through Southeast and Eastern Asia with open eyes and a reflective mind.

Publisher's Note
When Carsten Jensen set out by train from Denmark on a journey to the East, he expected to find lands of rich history and culture,a and people undergoing radical change at the end of the twentieth century. In this illuminating narrative of his travels, there is this and much, much more.
Fusing social commentary and history with vibrant descriptions of people and places, Jensen brilliantly evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of these venerable civilizations. He examines the reverberations of the Tiananmen Square massacre in china, always attuned to the restless air of expectancy in the country, but also finds time for remote concerts of ancient Chinese music. He renders the pervasive sense of destruction, despair, and loss in Cambodia with particular sensitivity, wondering at the specter of death that still hovers over the landscape. And it is in Vietnam, with its palpable legacy of colonialism and war, that Jensen ultimately loses himself in an extraordinary love affair.

Industry reviews
"Well-written--though elusive--literary travel through interior country: Jensen's US debut is a cut above the usual slide-show travelogue."
Kirkus Reviews  (01/15/2002)
