Review'Harvest Season' features no handsome heroes, no consummated love story, no Bob Marley, no redemption.' The Wall Street Journal'Taylor ultimately achieves something impressive here that all literature should and so little actually does.' Chicago Center for Literature and Photography'A glimpse into Chinese society, a morality tale and finally, a pageturning read, racing toward a bloody climax.' Jakarta Globe'A racy, chemical fueled parable.' Taipei Times'Single sentences in limpid simplicity become illustrative of individual character.' Bangkok Post'Sumptuously written, with passages of great beauty. Taylor is a talented writer, and reveals to us a China most people have no idea exists.' Phnom Penh Post'A cunning and beautifully composed meditation on the demise of individual travel and, to some extent, the publishing industry that surrounds it.' Bangkok 101Product DescriptionSouthwest China, it's harvest season. The ganja is coming down off the mountain slopes in baskets ... What could go wrong?From the AuthorWelcome to Harvest Season, a novel of just 220 pages that I ended up spending a lot of time on. No, the first person narrator is not me, and, yes, a lot of it is made up though much of the bigpicture back story is pretty much how things panned out over the course one winter and early spring in a remote valley in the mountains of southwest China. Yes, it's a difficult novel to categorize, but that's why, I think, it deserves to be read: it wrote itself and refused to be told any other way than the way it wound up.About the AuthorChris Taylor is a writer based in Bangkok and Southwest China. He wrote, cowrote and updated Lonely Planet guides to Seoul, Tokyo, China, Tibet, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia, among other Asian destinations. He was coordinating author of the China, Japan and Southeast Asia: on a shoestring guides, and has contributed Asiarelated material to other guidebook publishers. He has written for The Far Eastern Economic Review, Salon, Time, the South China Morning Post, The Age, and The Sydney Morning Herald, among many other newspapers and magazines. Harvest Season is his first novel.
