Tony Brasunas's award-winning debut memoir is a remarkable portrait of life in China and a groundbreaking account of coming old in today's period of globalization. In a school room in sultry Guangzhou, having nothing you've seen prior left the United States nor taught a class on anything, equipped only with a beginner's grasp of the terminology, Brasunas is faced with 37 ninth graders in even. Only his intrinsic fascination with Chinese culture and about himself drives him on, to keep seeking in the tense school room, to trust his instincts in the frenetic and dishonest avenue markets, and to make new friends from all strolls of life. When the institution season ends, Brasunas sets off with simply a backpack over the vastness of China, across the Silk Road in the north, and to the edge of ancient Tibet in the west. His rugged highway brings daunting perils, unexpected relationship, and wild twists of fate that transform his understanding of right and wrong, beauty and fact, suffering and pleasure. Double Enjoyment is a vivid and inspiring voyage across China and through the heart and soul of a American.
