Two Kinds of Time Reprinted

Excellent to see that the University of Washington Press has decided to reprint Graham Peck’s Two Kinds of Time and also excellent that there’s a talk about it (organized by the Foreign Correspondents Club of China) if you happen to be near Beijing.

Armed with $2000 and some art supplies, Graham Peck first reached China in 1937 and stayed for a year. He returned in 1939, after publishing his first book, and stayed throughout the Japanese invasion and nationalist rule, leaving to write "Two Kinds of Time", which was published in 1950. The book's charming illustrations have made it a favorite of many generations of journalists who followed in his footsteps. The book is being republished now, and will be introduced by Robert Kapp, a former president of the US-China Business Council who will give the talk.
