Waiting to Be Arrested at Night by Tahir Hamut Izgil

challenging sad tense medium-paced

 I appreciate reading “A Stone is Most Precious Where it Belongs” right before picking up this book. Hoja, the author of “A Stone is Most Precious Where it Belongs”, leaves Urumqi in 2001 and has been in the US ever since while Izgil flees with his family in 2017 and the two perspectives together paint the trajectory for the actions of the Chinese government from the late 1990s into modern day. an important and timely memoir about things happening right now.
