The Woman Warrior: Memoirs Of A Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston

It is about being Chinese in the way A Portrait of the Artist is about being Irish; it is an investigation of soul, not landscape, its sources are dream and memory, myth and desire; its crises are the crises of a heart in exile from roots that bind and terrorize it... Maxine Hong Kingston writes with bitter and relentless love. Her voice, now, is as clear as the voice of Tsâe(tm)ai Yen, who sang her sad, angry songs of China to the barbarians. It is as fierce as a warriorâe(tm)s voice, and as eloquent as any artist. This 1981 Picador Paperback is in fair condition.
