Description:
New York: Crown, 2023. Book. Illus. by 16 pages excellent photos, plus line drawings. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. "An exquisitely serious masterpiece about his Chine" says Andrew Solomon on the dustjacket. And I agree. It is a biography of his prominent family's attempt to find freedom in poetry and art in a China that would not tolerate their free expression. A fine copy, no flaws on the dust jacket. No prior marks or stains inside. Looks as new, but has been read once. .
