    “Sanmao is as wild as the sun and the stars and the sea. A lesser-known book in the West, my beautiful Chinese friend Yunshi gave this to me for my 26th birthday and I've re-read it so many times since then. Sanmao's tales of the SAHARA DESERT are UNREAL. She is brazen, brave, ultra-cool and a beautiful story teller. The biggest love”
