First line
We were no sooner back in China before my partner, Blanche, and I got the first of the many lessons we were to receive in the next ten months from the staff and students of Suzhou Vocational College where we had volunteered to teach English.

Description:
Errington, BC, Canada: Fogducker's Press, 1989. Book. Illus. by Harding, Blanche (illustrator). Very Good. Paperback. Signed by Author(s). Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 172 pages. Recounts author's experiences in China whilst teaching English with his wife on a voluntary basis. "I was like the ancient mariner; under a terrible compulsion to stop western travellers and tourists and hold them by the lapel as I babbled off all the iniquities of the monstrous oriental madhouse.... "What is it like to experience waiting to be executed? It is lastingly horrifying even by vicarous experience. Believe me." But don't worry, there were lighter moments as well! Author won the Brissendon Scholarship for creative writing at the University of British Columbia..
