kappareads 's review for:

The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston
3.0

A collection of short memoirs based on Maxine Hong Kingston's life as a Chinese immigrant. The stories take on an almost surreal feel that makes these stand out from other novels written about this topic.

I will argue the stories about her mother are the best, especially the one with the ghost because it's such a good interpretation of an unreliable narrator. Once you start thinking about what could have happened, it messes you up.
