Maxine Hong Kingston, (born October 27, 1940, Stockton, California, U.S.), American writer, much of whose work is rooted in her experience as a first-generation Chinese American. Maxine Hong was the eldest of six American-born children of Chinese immigrant parents. Hong’s father, a scholar, had left China in 1924 and immigrated to New York City; unable to find work as a poet or calligrapher, he took a job in a laundry. Hong’s mother had remained behind in China and joined him in the United States in 1939. Hong attended the University of California, Berkeley, as a scholarship student, graduating in 1962. At Berkeley she met aspiring actor Earll Kingston. They were married in November 1962 and had a son in 1964. The couple taught at Sunset High School in 1966–67 in Hayward, California, then moved to Hawaii, where she held a series of teaching jobs for the next 10 years. In 1976 Kingston published her first book, The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts. It combines myth, family history, folktales, and memories of the experience of growing up within two conflicting cultures. The book was an immediate critical success, winning the 1976 National Book Critics’ Circle Award for nonfiction. In her second memoir, China Men (1980), Kingston tells the story of Chinese immigration through the experiences of the men in her family. Using the narrative techniques of The Woman Warrior, she relates their stories of virtual slave labour, loneliness, and discrimination. China Men won the American Book Award for nonfiction. In Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book (1989), the main character—Whittman Ah Sing, named after Walt Whitman—narrates a peculiarly 20th-century American odyssey; the book combines Eastern and Western literary traditions while emphasizing the Americanness of its characters. In To Be the Poet (2002), written mainly in verse, Kingston presented a rumination on elements of her own past and the acts of reading and creating poetry. The Fifth Book of Peace (2003) combines elements of fiction and memoir in the manner of a Chinese talk-story, a tradition in which elements of both the real and imagined worlds become interpolated. I Love a Broad Margin to My Life (2011) is a “memoir-in-verse.” Kingston also published poems, short stories, and articles. Her collection of 12 prose sketches, Hawai’i One Summer (1987), was published in a limited edition with original woodblock prints and calligraphy. Beginning in 1993 Kingston ran a series of writing and meditation workshops for veterans of various conflicts and their families. From these workshops came the material for Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace (2006), a collection edited by Kingston containing prose and verse on the experiences of war, domestic violence, drug abuse, and other traumatic experiences. In 2014 Kingston received the National Medal of Arts.

評分大一的時候寫的傻逼文章啊,來美國的第二個學期。 In China, it is not hard to distinguish a poet. When poets feel sad, they do not speak out about their feelings. Instead, they write about flowers falling in the late spring; they write about grasses dying in...

纔發現副標題是Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts。還是那樣,一開始再不喜歡的書,看到最後時也覺得深深的捨不得,沒有任何人是討厭的。
评分用霍米巴巴分析一下,趕鴨子上架的節奏。。。
评分發現自己閱讀速度驚人,慢的驚人
评分lots of chinese stories hearded and written by one immigrant,far from what we read in chinese works.
评分Read it only if you are curious what Chinese immigrants' lives in the US are like. Otherwise you would be surprised by how poorly Classical Chinese tales are tailored to serve the author's agenda. In the US, however, it is a one-time bestseller and classi
