[edit] Future plans?

As of 2006, he is working on another book about the rural villages and factories in China.

Does anyone have any evidence of this? I've actually heard Hessler speak in person twice, and the last time I heard him (spring 2006), he was saying that he thought he would be leaving China fairly soon to move to a different part of the world (I believe he mentioned India) and start writing there. I don't doubt that he might have changed his mind but a citation for this is needed. Terence7 00:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, since I have reason to believe this sentence is false, I'm removing it until someone can find a citation. Terence7 06:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the article referenced in this sentence:

In his article published in the Nov. 6, 2007 issue of The New Yorker, Peter Hessler writes he is leaving China after 10 years.

Anyone have a citation? Kjemmett 01:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I've seen the article, and at its conclusion he does indicate that he is flying back to the U.S. (though he doesn't specify why or for how long). He has another article in the New Yorker of 28 March 2008, which would seem to indicate that he has not actually moved out of China. Terence7 (talk) 04:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
