thewonderelf 's review for:
The Woman Warrior
by Maxine Hong Kingston
This book bends genre like nobody's business, and I love it. On this edition, the front announces that it won an award for memoir, and the back of the book directs booksellers to shelve it in the fiction section. Yes!
Maxine Hong Kingston weaves the stories of her childhood in with imagined stories, Chinese myths, and tales that her mother has told her. The landscape she creates is one that is very true to childhood. Children, after all, do not make any kind of strict distinction between "reality" and "fantasy."
