In his writing, Hessler focuses on the social transformation of Reform Era China. He currently writes essays for The New Yorker and National Geographic, and he was The New Yorker’s Beijing correspondent from 2000 to 2007.
“Drawing upon a decade-long immersion in Chinese culture as well as extensive travels and historical research, Hessler writes with a novelist’s attention to detail and structures his stories around the compelling characters he encounters,” according to the MacArthur Foundation’s website.
After graduating from the University, Hessler studied English language and literature at the University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.
