SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: Richard S. Ehrlich is a Bangkok-based journalist from San Francisco, California, reporting news from Asia since 1978 and winner of Columbia University's Foreign Correspondent's Award.
This book elaborates on his published dispatches from Tibet, India, Nepal, Laos, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and New York. Fragments of people appear, their distant voices mixing with chaotic and often terrible events. Slices start at random moments and end in bleak locations.
Many of these transcribed handwritten notes, impressions and exclusive interviews have never appeared in print until now.
