"Two Years on the Yangtze" - Peter Hessler Speaks at Google

I am currently living and teaching in Fuling as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I would like to get in touch with Peter Hessler. Any suggestions?

Hi Peter, I have read your book and realy enjoy it. We a publisher in Brazil specialized in books on China. I was born in china , grow up in China and spend additional ten years in china from 1993 - 2003. In search for books with insights, I have found yours as one of my favorite. Please reply. Thank you.

Best regards,

Andrea Maritns

I am a native from Fuling, China. When I read 'River Town', the precise description of my hometown and people there made me really homesick. Very good author indeed.

he has the same name as me

Fascinating talk. Thank you.

"Pen" hahahaha

Peter - I posted a text comment...Pam LeBlanc
I'm a filmmaker, photographer and teacher of high school film and photography..recently retired and doing film full time. I loved watching you on video and absolutely hated the camera work w/ three bald heads in the foreground and an empty screen in the background. It is truly a testament to your appeal as a speaker that pulled that off. Any plans to visit Ann Arbor for your next book tour? Or is that wishful thinking? Pam LeBlanc

Peter- I've been trying to find whatever you wrote re the Earthquake, yet afraid that it might have struck too close to your Peace Corps Assignment.Today I came across your Youtube piece. I teared up when I saw that it has impacted your community in Fulong. I'm a great fan of yours. I'm also glad to see that the "toothbrush" reference is still alive. I was in Peace Corps 1967-70, in Borneo. I feel we may have had similar experiences.Please keep in touch w/ those students. Pam LeBlanc

Peter Hessler is one of my favorite authors. It excites me so much to see him speak. What's next, Mr. Hessler?

Good, cool! Keep on your great work, Mr Peter hessler!

This is WONDERFUL!

Please do more of this.

I was very impressed w/ Hessler's "River Town." I can't wait to read "Oracle Bones."

Wow I didn't know this was here! I just finished River Town and I'm already very fond of Mr. Hessler's writing. I can't wait to read Oracle Bones and I'm glad to have this insight on Chinese culture and lives! He is a very frank and often humorous writer who understands the world around him and relates to both the subjects in his book and the readers. This video was a good find!

Have not read the second book, but I've read 'River Town'. What a great book. He's an excellent writer and he gives you the foreigner's perspective, on how frustrating it can be sometimes, but also, how funny it can be, while living abroad. Overall, he has that rare ability to not take himself too seriously, but is passionate about the details and the journey. Anyway, I look forward to reading it. Peace!

Oh, google channel is not all about technology?? but sometimes it's good
