Summary
American novelist and travel writer sails down the Yangtze River in China along with thirty-three Americans, mostly millionaires, on an exclusive Lindblad tour. Theroux offers prose pictures of the river's industry-fouled cities and villages, the countless junks and sampans, the… spectacular gorges, the endless views of Chinese people tilling the half-dead fields, plus acerbic sketches of his rich companions. Some strong language. 1984, c1983.
