He is the author of "Twin-Sun River: An American POW in China" (2011), "Purple Mountain: A Story of the Rape of Nanking" (2010), "Red Guard Fantasies and Other Stories" (2007), "Pearl Jacket and Other Stories" (translator/editor, 2008), "Bridging the Pacific: Searching for Cross-Cultural Understanding Between the United States and China" (2000), and more than ten other books.
