'Illuminating ... Johnson has not only lifted a corner of the
curtain which covers China's reality beyond its glittering eastern
cities; he has drawn the whole curtain' The Times Literary
Supplement In Wild Grass, Pulitzer Prize-winning Ian Johnson
describes a China caught between the desire for change percolating
up from below and the ossified political structure above. He
recounts the stories of three ordinary people who find themselves
finding oppression and government corruption, risking imprisonment
and even death. A young architecture student, a bereaved daughter,
and a peasant legal clerk are the unlikely heroes of these stories,
private citizens cast by unexpected circumstances into surprising
roles.
