Comment on Nurturing Nature by Strangers in the Park

Strangers in the Park — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:04:55 +0000

[...] This was a challenging article. For one, my husband and I embarked on this trip to Taman Negara knowing that we weren’t really of the National Geographic calibre. There wasn’t going to be scaling of tumultuous mountains or cuddling of orang utans. The only possible story angle based on our limitations was to truthfully position us as urban wussies.

Comment on Behind the scenes: Dai Sijie Interview by Silvina Hunter

Silvina Hunter — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:34:28 +0000

I was wondering if you have any means of contacting Dai, in order to ask him if he would be willing to answer some of my student’s questions about the book on Skype. If he only speaks French, we could have someone to translate the questions and his answers.
Thanks!
Silvina
