I Love Peter Hessler
Filed under: Little Words Tagged: China, food, John Hersey, Letter From Beijing, Peter Hessler
Hessler’s Letter From Beijing this week is yet another standout. He could write an entire issue, John Hersey-style, and I would be happy as a clam in black bean sauce.

Wouldn’t a clam in black bean sauce have reason to be somewhat less happy than the average clam? :)
A friend of mine comes from the same Missouri town as Hessler, and shares my (and, apparently, your) admiration for his work.
