Lawrence, T. E. Revolt In The Desert. None. Wordsworth Editions Ltd.. 1997. 445 pps. 8vo. Reprint. Softcover. very good copy with no dust jacket. Book is in NF condition. Pages are clean, Very bright, and very tight. Cover is in VG+ condition, possibly slight shelfwear. Spine has crease down it - that's the only indication that the book has been opened. This book was originally written in 1919 and printed on a newspaper press in Oxford -not for publication but as a convenience to the author and his friends. Thus stemmed the idea to publish by subscription at a stiff price. However - even with a stiff price - it was not enough money to publish the whole edition. So what we have amounts to less than half of the original text but it still fairly represents all sides of the story - and half a story is better than none at all. This book is a must for anyone interested in history or in knowing the truth. CR 05/07 $20.00 Book #R205 from Friends of the Modoc County Library, Alturas, CA

Lee, Gus. China Boy. New York. Penguin Group. 1991. 322 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. When we first meet Kai Ting, the seven-year-old hero of this compelling, autobiographical first novel, he has just been ground into the pavement by the neighborhood bully--the most recent incident in a long series of calamities. Kai Ting is the youngest child but the only son of high-born Chinese parents who, before his birth, fled China's Communist revolution, leaving their wealth behind. Kai Ting was born in the San Francisco ghetto where his family had relocated in the mid-1940s. Survival in this urban jungle is made all the more difficult for him by severely impaired eyesight and "a body that made Tinker Bell look ruthless." His mother, once his sole refuge from the ruffians on the street, has died of cancer, and his father has married a WASP who cannot abide anything Chinese--especially her husband's children. Their father turns a blind eye as his wife locks the children out of the house during the day; Kai Ting's return at night with bruises and torn clothes becomes an excuse for a second beating, this time at home. Redemption does come, after a fashion, but it is hard-fought and painfully won. This is the Chinese-American experience as Dickens might have described it, peopled by many rogues and a few saints. Lee's characters--blacks, Hispanics, whites and Asians--tend to extremes of good and evil, but, vividly drawn and intensely human, they are never stereotypes. His story is a primer on how to keep body and soul together in a world that is as gritty as the streets of his hero's neighborhood and seems often dangerously out of control. 50,000 first printing; Literary Guild selection; author tour.
