I do agree that books written by 'outsiders' can be tourist brochure like, but I find sometimes there are things we take for granted or we don't notice, which an outsider notices and also brings in his own perspective. Also if you like foodie mystery and enjoyed this book, don't mind if it is noir, I recommend Xiaolong's Inspector Chen Mysteries based in Beijing, which has lots of cultural refernces and food descriptions and is also poetic. srivallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908875938685251911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580041009470942950.post-62640455017747984362013-07-18T10:28:25.334+01:002013-07-18T10:28:25.334+01:00I love foodie and drinkie type mysteries.
