What I'm Reading
Catcher in the Rye
J.D Salinger 1945
Final getting around to a few high school classics. this one I bought for an extravagant price at Xin Hua bookshop downtown. Actually I got on to this the wrong way after watching a movie the Killing of John Lennon. Its a good book, not good enough to murder the greatest song writer of a generation but still it's good.
Yo Banfa !
Rewi Alley
First Published in 1952 I managed to get a 1976 NZ-China friendship society reprint of this fascinating autobiographical book. It covers Rewi's work in China before during and after the War Revolution & Liberation
One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich
Alexander Solzhenitsyn ; 1963 (English translation by Ralph Parker)
Another one of the high school classics that I was luck enough to get my hands on. This was the side of the story that I missed when reading all those WWII tales of the eastern front. Stalins victims in Russian
Mao the Unknown Story
Jung Chang & Jon Halliday; Vintage 2006
Explosive political biography of Mao Zedong a massive tome thick with detail thin on context
