Travels in an Upside-Down World
This is a book about discovering China from both historical and personal perspectives. It covers a five-year- period from 1984, when China's modernizations were just taking hold, to 1989 and the student-led Tiananmen protest that culminated in a vicious crackdown and a draconian aftermath. During this time the author taught at a major university of China's Ministry of Public Security in Beijing and worked as a journalist for China's top media outlets, also in Beijing. The book examines aspects of both China's educational system and its approach to covering the news. It contains accounts of travels to all parts of the country, sometimes on the author's own, sometimes with friends and colleagues, and sometimes with his two teenaged daughters joining him from Canada. Featured also is a story of the author and his daughter Katharine being chosen for movie parts shot on location in a remote region of the country, as well as trips with his daughters to other countries, one crossing Asia on the Trans-Siberian Railway and another climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. In his book, the author says every day was an epiphany. Often the result was beyond expectation. The sum effect of his varied experiences in an upside-down world was to turn his own world upside-down, too.

To the Farthest Rock
In 1952, at the age of twenty-seven, Mohan Rakesh undertook a journey to south India, travelling by bus, train and steamer along the western coast from Bombay to Kanyakumari. Young and ardent, he dreamt of the wide expanse of sea that would make up for a childhood spent in Amritsar's narrow lanes, and had visions of comely guides who would look kindly upon his wandering. But once he set out from Delhi on a train to Bombay, his visions slipped away and complex reality took over. To the Farthest Rock is a remarkable account of the hope and despair that characterized post-Independence India. Rakesh had only published a few short stories when he quit a teaching job in Shimla in order to travel, but readers who know his later work will recognize his skill with portraits of people and his exceptional ability to render fluctuations of feeling. Set against the verdant coastal landscape of Goa and Kerala, this absorbing travelogue is a fine introduction to the mind of one of Hindi's greatest novelists and playwrights.
