The Civil Servant's Notebook: A Novel of China

By Wang Xiaofang

Devious plots, seduction, blackmail, and bribery are all on the table in a no-holds-barred scramble for political prestige and personal gain. At the center of it all is a notebook, a humble witness to events, but one whose pages contain information they shouldn't. Penned by a former insider, "The Civil Servant's Notebook "offers a glimpse into the distorted psyches of those who roam the guarded halls of Chinese political power. "Serve the people" is just about the last thing on their minds.
