Jim Yardley - Brave Dragons: A Chinese Basketball Team, an American Coach, and Two Cultures Clashing
Former New York Times Beijing bureau chief Jim Yardley presents Brave Dragons: A Chinese Basketball Team, an American Coach, and Two Cultures Clashing ($26.95), the wonderfully original story of a struggling Chinese basketball team and its quixotic, often comical attempt to right its fortunes by copying the American stars of the NBA—a season of cultural misunderstanding that transcends sports and reveals China’s ambivalent relationship with the West. Yardley tells the story of the resulting culture clash with sensitivity and a keen comic sensibility. Jim Yardley has worked as a journalist for The New York Times for the past 14 years, including eight years as a foreign correspondent and bureau chief in China and India. His reportage on China’s legal system won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.
