This is Shanghai is a first hand account of expat life in China's (and the world's) largest city. Like a guidebook, it helps newcomers and visitors discover the city; but instead of making quickly-outdated lists of restaurants and museums, Alexander Barrett takes you on a tour of the essential facets of existence in Shanghai. Follow him through the sometimes incredibly old, sometimes futuristic, and often just plain strange sights, sounds, and experiences he's come across in the first year of exploring the city. With its light, humorous style and sharp eye for those key details that explain the sprawling reality of a huge metropolis, this book is perfect for anyone who wants a friendly guide to Shanghai or just a window onto another, fascinating world.
Industry Reviews

Praise for This is Portland:
"If you're a newcomer to Portland, it's the letter home you're too busy to write yourself. If you're an old-time resident, it's a look into what those green-haired, skinny-jeaned young people are up to." —Portland Monthly

"This book is earnest, good looking and a great read: just like the Portland I love.” —Sam Adams, mayor, City of Portland

"This is a very nice book about a very nice town by a very nice boy.” —Joe Randazzo, stand-up comedian and former editor, Onion

"Thirteen insightful, funny, beautifully written short essays on what makes Portland Portland. And it looks bad ass.” —Andrew Dickson, actor and advertizing director, Wieden+Kennedy

"Great little insights into such things as rain, Portland’s nicknames, food carts, bands, Portland drivers, strip clubs, tattoos, tater tots, snow, bikes, beer and much more. Really, you should just read it." —Mikel Kelly, Portland Metro

"great little insights into such things as rain, Portland’s nicknames, food carts, bands, Portland drivers, strip clubs, tattoos, tater tots, snow, bikes, beer and much more. Really, you should just read it." —Mikel Kelly, The Portland Tribune
