This book received my first 5-star rating of 2017. It's fantastic. If you're interested in travel, Asia, history, Communism, or what motivates humans to do inhuman things, please check it out.
Carsten Jensen is a Danish writer who traveled through China, Cambodia, and Vietnam in 1994.He shows a snapshot of people suffering or barely starting to recover from severe oppression. It's one part travelogue, one part humor, and one part philosophy.
It is so, so beautifully written. Poetic, poignant, stunning.
