A wonderful book for all animal lovers! I literally laughed and cried as I read this book.
He wrote "Iron and Silk" about 15 years back.That covered his experiences teaching English in China. In this work he continues to enchant me by his self- deprecatory style as he relates his experiences as a volunteer writng teacher for incarcerated young males. He reeled me in by keeping below the radar of the obvious political issues. Pub. Weekly quote: "As productive as these classes were, everyone was always aware of the painful truth that students would soon be shipped out to more brutal facilities. Salzman doesn't dwell on that, concluding that 'a little good has got to be better than no good at all.' Indeed, his account's power comes from keeping its focus squarely on these boys, their writing and their coming-to-terms with the mess their lives had become.
This book is an eclectic collection of fascinating facts. Economics has never been so appealing to me.
I tried to read this book, I really did. I already have a hard time with plays and this one really just did not keep my interest. It seemed to disjointed - scenese skipped across years or decades. sorry book club, I tried.
