I Love a Broad Margin to My Life (Vintage International) Reprint edition
Maxine Hong Kingston
In her singular voice?both humble and brave, touching and humorous?Maxine Hong Kingston gives us a poignant and beautiful memoir-in-verse that captures the wisdom that comes with age. As she reflects on her 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.
