Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. Dai Sijie and Ina Rilke. Anchor. 2002
reviewed by: Jennifer Nielsen
I picked up Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress from your staff picks shelves and was very glad I did. It was very engaging. I enjoyed the story and the style. I teach English at PTHS and as part of our World Literature curriculum we read the great Orwell classic, 1984. I can see ways I will use Balzac...to enrich our study of 1984 since both are about oppressive regimes and how people cope with the loss of great works of literature.
