## Description

A poignant and beautiful memoir-in-verse that captures the wisdom that comes with age from the award-winning author of The Woman Warrior and China Men . “[A] graceful meditation. . . . Achieves meaningful insights into the art of living.” —Boston Globe “A gentle, meandering memoir, organized as a long poem. . . . Cinematic and sensual. ” —San Francisco Chronicle As Maxine Hong Kingston reflects on sixty-five years, she circles from present to past and back, from lunch with a writer friend to the funeral of a Vietnam veteran, from her long marriage to her arrest at a peace march in Washington. On her journeys as writer, peace activist, teacher, and mother, she revisits her most beloved characters—Wittman Ah-Sing, the Tripmaster Monkey, and Fa Mook Lan, the Woman Warrior—and presents us with a beautiful meditation on China then and now. The result is a marvelous account of an American life of great purpose and joy, and the tonic wisdom of a writer we have come to cherish.

Review: Inspiring memoir - Hong Kingston's memoir is deeply inspiring. It shows how being an agent of change and being dedicated to creating a better world is a complex process. What I take away from her story is that peace is not a final state but a process; we have to enact peace in our communities in a collective effort. Her writing is brilliant.
Review: Excellent read - A reflective tome on her life. As a long time Hong Kingston admirer, I enjoyed getting to know her better as a person
