Past ASIA Event:
Hong Kingston Book Reading - Oct. 16, 2003
In the early 1990s, Maxine Hong Kingston lost everything, including a novel-in-progress
The Fourth Book of Peace, to a devastating fire that raged while she
attended her father's funeral. Starting anew, The Fifth Book of Peace
moves from memoir to fiction and back again. Kingston (Woman Warrior, Tripmaster Monkey)
weaves her own story of loss together with the stories of war veterans and a remarkable
pair of Chinese-American war resisters. In Maxine Hong Kingston's hands, the stories of
war and its terrors become a literature of peace.
At Simmons College, 3rd Floor Conference Center, 300 The Fenway, Boston. 7pm
Directions
Co-sponsored by Center for New Words.
