Maureen Mackey of Reader's Digest recently reviewed Lang Lang's Journey of a Thousand Miles and wrote: "While I make my way through bookshelves filled with a host of promising summer '08 titles, here's one worth mentioning right now: a really fine new memoir by Lang Lang, Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story (Spiegel & Grau, on sale July 15). The Chinese pianist's road from near poverty while growing up in Shenyang, to stunning success on some of the greatest stages of the world, is well known in some corners; he's been written about and covered by everyone who knows anything about classical music... Now along comes his memoir of his full rags-to-riches story, in his direct, clear voice. What's so striking in these pages (and also true of so many outstanding talents in their field) is just how hard he worked to achieve his goals."
Lang Lang's new autobiography, Journey of a Thousand Miles, is being published by Random House, Inc. and will be released on July 15th. According to Random House, "Journey of a Thousand Miles documents the remarkable, dramatic story of a family who sacrificed almost everything—his parents' marriage, financial security, Lang Lang's childhood, and their reputation in China's insular classical music world—for the belief in a young boy's talent. And it reveals the devastating and intense relationship between a boy and his father, who was willing to go to any length to make his son a star."
