Synopsis
A love story between a woman and a country, and a woman and a man, Field Notes from Sichuan is a novel based on the author’s experience living in China in the 1980s. Excited to finally be in a country just opening to the outside world, Suzanne Wright, fresh from the idealism of the civil rights movement in the US, soon finds there is more to living in another culture than intriguing trips to remote villages and intense conversations with new friends. A keen observer of both China’s move from rural to urban life and of her own encounters with culture shock, she struggles between feeling at home and being a perpetual outsider. As she is drawn ever deeper into the Chinese world, she confronts a choice between loyalty to friends and her own cherished desires. Black and white photos of daily life in and around Chongqing enhance the text.

Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages.
