Description
This is an auction for APOLOGIES TO MY CENSOR: THE HIGH AND LOW ADVENTURES OF A FOREIGNER IN CHINA, by Mitch Moxley.
Amazon.com reviews:
"APOLOGIES TO MY CENSOR is the story of a young man's outrageous adventures in China and his search for identity in the most unexpected of places. Mitch Moxley came to Beijing in the spring of 2007 to take a job as a writer and editor for China Daily, the country's only English-language national newspaper. The Chinese economy was booming, the Olympics were on the horizon, and Beijing was being transformed into a world-class city overnight. Moxley planned to stay only through the Olympics and then head back to Canada. But that was six years ago. In that time, Moxley fed a goat to a lion, watched a lingerie-wearing bear ride a bicycle, and crisscrossed the country writing stories. He also appeared as one of Cosmopolitan's one hundred most eligible bachelors in China, acted in a state-funded Chinese movie, and was paid to pose as a fake businessman. During Moxley's journey of self-exploration, his comic adventures and misadventures in China gave way to the creation of his alter ego—Mi Gao, or Tall Rice. A funny and honest look at expat life, APOLOGIES TO MY CENSOR also depicts the ways a country can touch and inspire you."
"I've lived in Beijing for 13 years. Moxley does a great job of accurately capturing my own experience. His anecdotes are absurd, unexpected, humorous, and surreal. I've often asked myself what am I doing here, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Now when someone asks me what it's like to live in China, I can just tell them to read Apologies to my Censor."
