2016., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: QWF 915.1 T866b Availability:2 of 2 At Your Library Summary Note: To this day, China remains an enigma. Ancient, complex and fast moving, it defies easy understanding. The author visits artists and migrant workers, townspeople and rural farmers. Often accompanied by a young Chinese journalist, Vivien, he explores realities caught in time between the China of our memories and the thrust of progress. The China he seeks out lurks in hints and shadows. The people he encounters along the way give up but small secrets yet each revelation comes as a surprise that jolts us from our preconceived ideas and forces us to challenge our most secure notions. Barbarian Lost, Trudeau's first book, is an insightful and witty account of the dynamic changes going on right now in China, as well as a look back into the deeper history of this highly codified society. Alexandre Trudeau is a Quebec filmmaker and journalist, and the younger brother of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Born into one of the country's most prominent political families, Alexandre has been familiar to Canadians since birth by his nickname, Sacha. He lives in Montreal.
