Summary:  "Peter Hessler was the Beijing correspondent for the New Yorker for seven years. These essays showcase Hessler's unmatched range as a storyteller. “Wild Flavor” invites readers along on a taste test between two competing rat restaurants in South China. One story profiles Yao Ming, basketball star and China's most beloved export, another David Spindler, an obsessive and passionate historian of the Great Wall. Also included are some of Hessler's American travels. In "Dr. Don," he writes movingly about a small-town pharmacist in the American West and his relationship with the people he serves. More of Peter Hessler's essays on China are in his books Country Driving : a journey through China from farm to factory, and River Town: two years on the Yangtze"--Provided by publisher.
