A great story told in hindsight, traveling to China, right after China lifts their travel ban.. Gilman is a UM grad of Writing Program. Funny and serious too. The unexpected and totally incomprehensible happens and suddenly it’s not fun anymore.
The title is catchy, yes?
Couldn't put down submitted by dailyreader on June 15, 2020, 3:35pm A captivating story, but what is more captivating is that it is the telling of a true experience.
