I Am Standing on the Dike: Notes from Personal Life in Academia Politics, and Arts is an autobiography out of chronological order that contains seven parts that provide insight into the existence of a life-long learner, teacher, academic, and politically engaged life; added are also reflections on art. There are frequent references and comparative perspectives to China throughout, reflective of the author’s stay there during most of this book’s writing. While the book contains both informative and entertaining value, the author urges the requirement of willingness to engage with the material, and challenges readers to accept this challenge, as an encouragement to exchange ideas with others.
