VOGEL ★ A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice ★ A Washington Post Best Book of the Year ★ An Economist Best Book of the Year ★ A Wall Street Journal Book of the Year No one in the twentieth century had a greater impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist—the pragmatic, disciplined force behind China’s radical economic, technological, and social transformation. “Vogel has gone to enormous lengths to document his subject…Vogel’s painstaking research provides plenty of fascinating detail…On the ways through which Deng set about the enormous task of rebuild - ing the gutted economy, shattered by decades of turmoil under Mao Zedong, Vogel is exhaustive.” —SIMON ELEGANT, TIME “Deng led a long and remarkable life, packed with drama and global significance, one that deserves to be dissected in detail…There’s no question that Vogel has gone farther than anyone else to date in telling Deng’s story. For that he is to be applauded; there is a whole hoard of valuable material here that we probably would not have gained otherwise.” —CHRISTIAN CARYL, FOREIGN POLICY “Ezra Vogel’s encyclopedic Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China is the most exhaustive English retelling of Deng’s life. Vogel…seems to have interviewed or found the memoirs of nearly every person who spoke with Deng, and has painstakingly re-created a detailed and intimate chronology of Deng’s roller-coaster career.” —JOSHUA KURLANTZICK, THE NATION “From arguably the most important scholar of East Asia, this is an important book on the force behind China’s transformation in the late twentieth century, whose full fruits are visible only today.

    McLaughlin: Walking as Practice 144 The Game’s Afoot: Walking as Practice in Sherlockian Literary Geographies David McLaughlin University of Cambridge _____________________________________ Abstract: This article explores the relationship between readers’ embodied experiences in the world and the creative act of encountering fiction. In particular, it looks at three examples of Sherlock Holmes-inspired literary tourism. Their authors each use walking as a means of encountering the literary spaces of Arthur Conan Doyle’s texts and of deliberately adding to them, expanding the space of Holmes’s world beyond the page. By introducing the concept of ‘expansionary literary geography’, this article suggests that forms of embodied, worldly engagement with literature - whether derided as ‘literary fanship’ or celebrated as literary tourism - can also be forms of reading, acts of creative encounters with fiction, in their own right. Its argument proceeds through close readings of three Sherlockian texts - Arthur Axelrad’s On the Scent (1984), David Hammer’s A Dangerous Game (1997), and Richard Warner’s Guide Book and Instructions for the Ascent of Holmes Peak (1985). It is demonstrated that through the power of walking to combine embodied experience of the actual world with acts of memory and imagination, the three authors’ travels work to inscribe the Sherlock Holmes texts into the world. In this way, their walking and its representation become a form of both reading and writing, a physical experience of the unfolding of narrative in time and space, and a contribution to the imaginative expansion of Holmes’s world. Keywords: mobility; walking; expansionary; literary geography; literary tourism; Sherlock Holmes.
