19. From the Heartland.101 Pages. Maps included. February 2004. $10. By Carl Coon. New essays from this retired Foreign Service officer. First is a reminiscence of his service as U.S. consul in Tabriz, Iran. Followed by "From Osh to Lhasa," a travelogue of a 1993 exploration through large parts of formerly Soviet Central Asia (especially Kyrgyzstan), Chinese Turkestan (also known as Xinjiang province), and Tibet. Recounted are shrewd and amusing perceptions, observations, and adventures about a region little known to most Americans.
