Review: "In 1983 Ma Jian, a photographer, painter, poet, and writer, set out for the most remote and roughest parts of China. Dispirited and fearful, accused at work of having "a sluggish mentality," confronted with a failed marriage, an estranged young daughter and a girlfriend involved with another man, he abandons Beijing and a life he can no longer endure. Red Dust is the account of his travels."--BOOK JACKET.
