David Eimer is the author of The Emperor Far Away: Travels at the Edge of China, a travelogue that explores modern-day China along with its history and culture. Eimer first visited China in 1988, and has since visited almost every province, and written extensively about it for Lonely Planet. He lived in Beijing from 2005-2012, where he was the China correspondent for the Sunday Telegraph as well as a columnist and feature writer for the South China Morning Post.

Traveling through the Islamic areas of Xinjiang province, into the forbidden zone of Tibet and across Route 219, which runs the rough boundary shared with India, the only disputed frontier in China, Eimer exposes the country’s inner conflict. All the tensions in China today―from its war against drugs and terrorism and the unstable relationships it maintains with Russia and Korea to its internal social issues―take on new meaning when seen from China’s most remote corners. The Emperor Far Away is a brilliant melding of journalism and history and essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary China.

Highway is a late-in-life world traveler, yarn spinner, collector, and legendary auctioneer. His most precious possessions are the teeth of the “notorious infamous” like Plato, Petrarch, and Virginia Woolf. Written in collaboration with the workers at a Jumex juice factory, Teeth is an elegant, witty, exhilarating romp through the industrial suburbs of Mexico City and Luiselli’s own literary influences.
