About this listen

 A Coward in Modern China is a travel comedy, crime caper and adventure - based on the escapades of bogus professor Robert Runworth. Its first line is: “This is the story of a knowing scoundrel, and of what became of him.” Set largely in contemporary Beijing, and partly in California, it is raunchy and mischievous in its plot and action. Yet the pages are also classically stylish; and historically detailed in their account of life in China today. The book is always entertaining, by its exotic setting and fascinating insights as much as its farcical humor. Here is a good old-fashioned yarn in the tradition of the Flashman series. Indeed, Runworth is of mixed American and British ancestry. The narrator’s voice has both an up-to-date quality and the timeless feel of more classical literature. Its main character is a thoughtful villain, rather like Dexter. Therefore, like all truly entertaining literature and laugh-out-loud comedies, the ‘A Coward in. . .’ series is not for the politically correct. Written by British author, Jon Lee Junior, who has lived and taught in Asia for 12 years. Crime Fiction Literature & Fiction Comedy Witty
