內容簡介：

這並不是一本關於中國的書，它隻涉及一小段特定時期內中國的某個小地方。從地理和曆史上看，涪陵都位於江河中遊，所以人們有時很難看清她從何而來，又去往何處。

在1996年至1998年間，我學會瞭熱愛涪陵。能再次迴到長江上的感覺真好，哪怕它的舊時激流隻存於我的記憶之中。

 A New York Times Notable Book

Winner of the Kiriyama Book Prize

In the heart of China's Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.
