China Cuckoo is the true story of an eccentric Sinophile Englishman and his Chinese sea-change. In booming Shanghai in the 1990s, Mark Kitto hit the big time. As a publisher, he created the most successful English language magazines in China. But on the verge of signing a groundbreaking deal, it all came crashing down. Variously accused of being a spy, a pornographer and a terrorist, Mark retreated to Moganshan, a beautiful and isolated mountain village once favoured as a summer retreat by Shanghai’s saints and sinners. Funny, fascinating and perceptive, China Cuckoo is about getting on with life in the most unlikely of places. It’s about the healing power of a small community even for an outsider. It is about rediscovering your passion despite what happens to you. It is, in the words of one who has suffered and benefited from both, about the risks and rewards of going China Cuckoo.
