Why read it?
1 author picked The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Interestingly, the eponymous main character is Chinese, proving that our Western heroes and antiheroes are perfectly open to diversity. Intriguing fantasy elements are found in Ming’s Chinese guide, The Prophet, and in the circus performers with whom Ming travels across the harsh Western landscape. A wonderful read!
From Julie's list on set in the weird Wild West.
