Reviews / Votes
Each of us early in life has an imaginary friend, one we make up, that no religion has invented first. It is a pleasure, not a strain, to believe in Christopher Howell's Ling Wei---this shared friend of ours. We won't get tired of listening to his life and insights, the round and wavy way he speaks the truth. Ling Wei and his creator are powerful poets." - Sandra McPhersonMore details
