Non-Fiction Memoir
In 1986, Susan Jane Gilman and a classmate embarked on a
bold trek around the globe starting in the People's Republic
of China. At that point, China had been open to independent
backpackers for roughly ten minutes. Armed only with the
collected works of Nietzsche and Linda Goodman's Love Signs,
the two friends plunged into the dusty streets of Shanghai.
Unsurprisingly, they quickly found themselves in over their
heads--hungry, disoriented, stripped of everything familiar,
and under constant government surveillance. Soon, they began
to unravel--one physically, the other psychologically. As
their journey became increasingly harrowing, they found
themselves facing crises that Susan didn't think they'd
survive. But by summoning strengths she never knew she
had--and with help from unexpected friends--the two
travelers found their way out of a Chinese heart of darkness. UNDRESS ME IN THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN is a flat-out
page-turner, an astonishing true story of naïveté,
friendship, and redemption told with Susan's trademark
compassion and humor.
