Letter from China by Evan Osnos

Posted on Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 at 23:35

There is now a new Beijing correspondence for the New Yorker, while Peter Hessler has remained quiet lately, the new guy’s name is Evan Osnos. The last profile he did for Hu Shuli left a strong impression on me. Yesterday i just read his latest on Chinese Romance with Red Wine. Fascinating.

What’s more, i discovered that he keeps a blog on the new yorker site, Letter from China. Currently it has some interesting entries on Obama’s recent visit. Quite a few insights on why China won’t go along with the US’s mission on Iran, but also call out the better than expected agreement on renewable energy, and last but not the least, interesting description of the life of Obama’s press corp in China.

I’m making my way slowly into his archives, just got into middle of October 2009. Feeling great that there are so many more months left to be read. The author description on the blog also mentioned that he is working on a book on China. How cool!

Peter Hessler is back in the US now, living in Colorado somewhere. From what I read from blogs of journalists in china, he has finally said farewell to China. He did say in an interview with Moira Gunn, that he wants to try something else. I wonder what next for him, once his third book on China is published.
