'Hypnotic . . . A record of one person's fierce refusal to follow a path laid down for her by the rest of the world' Tash Aw, Paris Review Books of the Year Sanmao: author, adventurer, pioneer. Born in China in 1943, she moved from Chongqing to Taiwan, Spain to Germany, the Canary Islands to Central America, and, for several years in the 1970s, to the Sahara. Stories of the Sahara invites us into Sanmao's extraordinary life in the desert: her experiences of love and loss, freedom and peril, all told with a voice as spirited as it is timeless. At a period when China was beginning to look beyond its borders, Sanmao fired the imagination of millions and inspired a new generation. With an introduction by Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti, this is an essential collection from one of the twentieth century's most iconic figures. 505 0 $a A Knife on a Desert Night -- A Desert Diner -- The Marriage Chronicles -- Apothecary -- Child Bride -- Night in the Wasteland -- The Desert Bathing Spectacle -- Looking for Love -- Nice Neighbours -- Dilettante Fishermen -- Seed of Death -- A Ladder -- Hearth and Home -- My Great Mother-in-Law -- Stealing Souls -- Sergeant Salva -- Hitchhikers -- The Mute Slave -- Crying Camels -- Lonesome Land. 600 00 $a Sanmao $x Travel $z Sahara. 651 0 $a Sahara $x Description and travel. 600 07 $a Sanmao. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00064194 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Sahara. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242088 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919983 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Fu, Mike, $e translator. 700 1 $a Teo, Sharlene, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211206125401.0 $m Book Discussion Sanmao $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF100C4A569E11ECA3C586EB0E3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
