BOOKS: Tom Carter is the author of two literary works: the yet-to-be-published autobiographical 'MISCHIEF' and a definitive collection of imagery entitled 'CHINA: Portrait of a People,' a stunning 600-page book of photography focusing on life and humanity in today's China, published Summer 2008. Prospective literary agents and publishing houses may contact the author directly with their queries. 'MISCHIEF: An Autobiography': Both poetic in prose and a literary punch in the face, Tom Carter's appropriately-titled memoir narrates the author's exploits growing up in the City of San Francisco, his later involvement in state and national American politics, and his remarkable travels around the world. (ADVANCE REVIEWS) (EXCERPTS) 'CHINA: Portrait of a People': With limited Chinese language skills and an even more limited budget, photojournalist Tom Carter backpacked alone across the massive 9.59 million square kilometer Asian sub-continent, visiting over 200 cities and villages and documenting the lives of thousands. This definitive, 600-page collection of photos is his tribute to the People's Republic of China, with an empathetic emphasis on The People. Published in Hong Kong by Blacksmith Books / Haven Books (PURCHASE) (REVIEWS) “Tom Carter is an extraordinary photographer whose powerful work captures the heart and soul of the Chinese people.” Anchee Min, author of Red Azalea and Empress Orchid. “Tom Carter's photo book is an honest and objective record of the Chinese and our way of life, his camera leads us through 33 wide-sweeping scenes of the real and the surreal.” Mian Mian, author of Candy. “It takes a great boldness of spirit to set out to capture the essence of so diverse a people as the Chinese in a single volume of photography. The thrill is to discover that Tom Carter has achieved just that.” Asia Literary Review
