Look for example at the difficulty there is in telling a Chinese, who has been taught to regard the love of his parents as his chief duty, as his forefathers have been taught for hundreds of generations before him--the difficulty there is in explaining to him, in his own language, the words of Christ, "If any man come to Me and hate not his father, he cannot be My disciple. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father."

An Australian In China
I recently enjoyed the author's oral history of London and tracked down this earlier book, an oral history of people living in an English village. It was lovely and soothing and by God I learned a tremendous amount about how to farm blackcurrants.
My only problem -- and I don't know how this happened -- was that I could NOT stop picturing the interviewees as the regulars in a Christopher Guest mockumentary. Michael McKean as the elderly farmer who can list 30 types of peaches! Catherine O'Hara as the jolly female priest! Eugene Levy as the Polish immigrant! Parker Posey as the B&B owner who leads tourists on brisk country walks! I sure hope this isn't a trend for me, because Hilary Mantel's new book just got published and I do not want to imagine Jennifer Coolidge as Ann Boleyn.
