read this in ulaanbaatar. the content of this book is brilliant but the translation at times, impedes the text in such a way that the reader isn't fully able to digest what the author is trying to communicate. the analysis was incredible and lend themselves to a very insightful picture of post-socialist mongolia. is a great starting point for anyone interested. i am particularly fond of the selfie of the author on the back page.
