"A deeply empathetic portrait of a literary genius whose vicissitudes in life . . . would pale a Shakespearean drama.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal &ldquo;Ha Jin narrates the poet&rsquo;s unusual life with erudition. . . .&#160;Writing about Li Bai&mdash;his life, his work, and his country&mdash;Jin finally returns home.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The New Yorker&#160; &ldquo;A fluently told story, mysterious yet familiar, tragic yet sometimes comical. Ha Jin is a master storyteller.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Robert Pinsky&ldquo;Ha Jin tells Li&rsquo;s story with insight and empathy.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker (briefly noted) &ldquo;An affectionate and thoughtful portrait of a complicated man and a master poet. . . . American readers&rsquo; Western bias has left the Chinese poet Li Bai less well-known here than in his native land, where he is considered a foundational writer. [The Banished Immortal] is a worthy corrective and an engaging introduction to the poet&rsquo;s life and work.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage &ldquo;Ha Jin&rsquo;s masterful style and deep affection for his subject make the book a pleasure to read. . . A number of readers will pick up this book knowing its author but not Li Bai, and Ha Jin makes sure they see Bai&rsquo;s prodigious talent.&rdquo; &mdash;Shelf Awareness (starred review)  &ldquo;A taut introduction to the life and poetry of the influential eighth-century Daoist poet . . . Ha Jin&rsquo;s polished biography will give a wider audience access to the politics and beauty of a major Chinese poet.&rdquo; &mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly (starred review) &ldquo;Award-winning novelist and poet Jin offers a glimpse into the life of one of China&rsquo;s most celebrated poets . . . Scholarly and emotionally engaging . . . Essential.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal (starred review) &ldquo;[Bai&rsquo;s] life as distinguished poet and fiction writer Ha Jin so limpidly relays it was peripatetic. . . . Yet he was an unstaunchable fount of poems of friendship, drinking, dancing, nostalgia, and regret. . . . Bai still stands, with his friend Du Fu, at the pinnacle of Chinese poetry, and his influence is extensive the world over.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist

The Narrative of Robert Adams, A Barbary Captive

"Seldom have I read a book by assorted authors from cover to cover, yet this particular volume in Tom Singer’s worthy and wide-reaching series on varieties of cultural complexes was compelling for its breadth and depth of focus. I feel better informed about sensitive issues that are still unresolved and that bear the marks of intergenerational trauma, passed on from the colonization, conflicts, and cross-cultural influences of previous centuries, both within Asia and between West and East. Just as it is a ‘must-read’ for the Westerner desirous of knowing more intimately the Easterner, it will be a valuable aid for intra-Asian cultural understanding." - Jean Kirsch, Jungian analyst, USA

"The essays gathered in this beautifully designed and edited collection, most written by Asian Jungian psychoanalysts, present a brilliant display of psychological insight into the cultural histories and complexes of the nationalities under consideration. The broad diversity in perspective and content among these reflections is unified within the framework of Jungian theory. For the curious Westerner and Easterner they bring the soul of the Far East closer." - Murray Stein, author, Jung’s Map of the Soul

"In Cultural Complexes in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan: Spokes of the Wheel, an amazing collection of contributors provide profound insights into cultural complexes. Far East Asia has never been so broadly represented in the Jungian literature. This unique text, drawing upon the Tao Te Ching, links a multitude of cultures into a coherent vision of the collective psyche at its most dynamic. Tom Singer, as maestro of the cultural complex in this collection, creates a polyphonic harmony—it will be a treat for any reader interested in the Far East. The gateway east is open; this is a psychological guide to its riches." - Joe Cambray, PhD, President/CEO, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA

'Considine unpicks the complex journey of identity through the lens of the Pakistani experience both in the US and Europe. Placing both belief and bigotry in context, challenging both inter and intra community tensions and using the personal accounts of individuals he humanizes the monolithic myth of "the Pakistani." An important and timely contribution by a committed bridge builder.' Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, British lawyer, politician and member of the House of Lords

'Pakistani Muslims are often seen as one of the most controversial ethnic and religious groups on issues of identity and integration. In this well researched and empathetic study of Pakistani diasporas in Ireland and the US, Craig Considine has made a valuable contribution to the literature on Muslims in the West and the language of "us" and "them" which continues to inform the political and social narrative of citizenship.' Dr. Mona Siddiqui, Professor in Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations, Edinburgh University

'Dr. Considine adds another brick to the foundations of inter-racial peace in American and Irish societies. As an immigrant myself who migrated to America from Pakistan as a young child, I have never seen anyone capture the struggles and challenges of Pakistanis trying to find their place in the West more accurately and intimately than Dr. Considine. As a devout Catholic, he delivers upon the teaching of Jesus Christ – "Blessed are the Peacemakers" – by writing this book.' Tayyib Rashid, US Marine Corps Veteran, 'The Muslim Marine'
