*THIS EVENT WAS CANCELLED* The author of River Town and Oracle Bones completes his trilogy on contemporary China with a report on that country’s love affair with cars. Hessler, Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker, got a Chinese driver’s license in 2001 and spent six years driving some 7,000 miles around China.. His narratives of driving lessons, use of the horn, and traffic violations are funny and frightening.
