HOCKNEY,
DAVID; SPENDER, STEPHEN.
China Diary
“Let’s begin by saying it’s just a little personal trip we made
together. I think the book should be in that sense a bit bitty – like
life – patched up in some way, as if made by three schoolboys on a tour
of a continent for the first time.” –David Hockney on China Diary
