Pre Publication Praise:<\/div>
\u201cThis invaluable book shows the range and depth of Liu Xiaobo\u2019s interests, concerns, and thoughts. It helps us know this remarkable man intimately. As a document, this book bears another kind of witness, both personal and historical.\u201d\u2014Ha Jin, author of Waiting, winner of the National Book Award<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u201cThe late Nobel Peace Prize laureate comes alive in these intimate recollections and thoughtful reflections, contributed by dozens of his friends and admirers\u2014many of them, like Liu, heroes of the long, hard Chinese struggle for democracy.\u201d\u2014Andrew J. Nathan, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science at Columbia University<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u201cProvocative, challenging, elegiac: the essays in The Journey of Liu Xiaobo capture the intellectual and activist spirit of the late literary critic and democracy icon. With contributions from a Who\u2019s Who of China\u2019s democracy movement and its global supporters, the essays speak to Liu\u2019s role in political debates during his life and carry that legacy into the future. The collection is a fitting tribute to a man who hoped he would be \u2018the last victim of China\u2019s endless literary inquisitions.\u2019\u201d\u2014Ken Roth, executive director, Human Rights Watch\u00a0<\/div>
