Book Description

An irreverent tale of an American Jew serving in the Peace Corps in rural China, which reveals the absurdities, joys, and pathos of a traditional society in fluxIn September of 2005, the Peace Corps sent Michael Levy to teach English in the heart of China's heartland. His hosts in the city of Guiyang found additional uses for him: resident expert on Judaism, romantic adviser, and provincial basketball star, to name a few. His account of overcoming vast cultural differences to befriend his students and fellow teachers is by turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny.While reveling in the peculiarities of life in China's interior, the author also discovered that the "other billion" (people living far from the coastal cities covered by the American media) have a complex relationship with both their own traditions and the rapid changes of modernization. Lagging behind in China's economic boom, they experience the darker side of "capitalism with Chinese characteristics," daily facing the schizophrenia of conflicting ideologies.Kosher Chinese is an illuminating account of the lives of the residents of Guiyang, particularly the young people who will soon control the fate of the world.

I'm finally making progress on my reading goals, thanks to this app's convenience. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction is a lifesaver. I can hear clearly even in noisy environments. My study sessions are more efficient than ever, thanks to the looping playback and bookmark features. I love the chapter navigation feature. ListenBook makes it easy to find specific sections. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute.

With ListenBook, I can explore new genres, learn new topics, and enjoy classic literature with ease. The drag-and-drop download feature on ListenBook is incredibly convenient – no more complicated processes. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
