The New York Review of Books (or NYRB) is a biweekly magazine on literature, culture, and current affairs published in New York which takes as its point of departure that the discussion of important books is itself an indispensable literary activity.
In the 21 December 1995 issue of The NewYorkReview of Books, Ian Buruma wrote a review of THE GATE OF HEAVENLY PEACE.
The film's directors, Richard Gordon and Carma Hinton, wrote a letter in response, which was printed in The NewYorkReview of Books (May 9, 1996) along with a reply from Ian Buruma.
But the subject of the film, and consequently of my review, was the specific case of Tiananmen, not the heroic defiance of Wei Jingsheng, or the continuing struggle of Wang Dana and others.
