The diaries of Chi Wen Tzu
Inspired by the teachings of Confucius, Roger McGough's book takes the form of a diary written by Chi Wen Tzu, a brilliant poet and inventor. Grappling with his daily life, this indecisive genius confronts himself at the end of each diary entry with three courses of action, none of which is the obvious choice. Through his journal we learn more about ancient China than perhaps is good for us. This is McGough at his hilarious and cleverest best, with inspired drawings by Satoshi Kitamura.
