Congrats! When I reviewed your book for the Skokie Public Library I just knew you were destined for paperback glory. ;) To my knowledge, none of my other reviewed authors have yet to make the cut.
ReplyDeleteBest of all, because of my review I won a prize from the library: an electronic sudoku game, now taking up space in my wife's Mary Poppins purse.
As a Chicago native, I say: thanks! It must have been your review.
ReplyDeleteIn my Chinese dreams, Andrew!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading "Dreaming in Chinese" and am planning to recommend it to all the other students in my Chinese class. It is a charming introduction to life and language in today's China
