Smoke & Mirrors: An Experience of China
VIEW EVENT DETAILSJoin Pallavi Aiyar, author and journalist
China is at a historical precipice where tradition and modernity, communism and capitalism, chaos and control rub up against each other on a daily basis. Pallavi Aiyar's Smoke and Mirrors captures China through Indian eyes and vice versa, a mirroring that shows the failings and achievements of both civilizations. The combination travelogue, reportage, and memoir is the first ever written by a Mandarin-speaking Indian foreign correspondent on China.
Pallavi Aiyar spent six years living in a hutong home in the heart of the old imperial city of Beijing where she reported from across China for the Hindu and Indian Express and taught English at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute. She is the winner of the 2007 Prem Bhatia Memorial Award for excellence in political reporting and analysis for her dispatches from China.
