An afternoon with
IAN BURUMA
London-based author and Asia expert
Writer for The New York Review of Books
& The New York Times Magazine

Reading from his latest book: "Bad Elements: Chinese Rebels From Los Angeles to Beijing" and discussing Asia and the war on terrorism

The New York Times declares "For years, Ian Buruma has been writing some of the most trenchant and sophisticated commentary around on the cultural-political world known as Asia." Though educated in both Holland and Japan, Ian Buruma spent a great portion of his life in Asia. He has written such books as "God's Dust: A Modern Asian Journey," "Behind the Mask" and "The Wages of Guilt: Memories of War in Germany and Japan." His 1991 novel, "Playing the Game," is a fictional biography about the life of an Indian prince who played cricket in Britain.
