The Woman Warrior, China Men

For the first time in one volume--two brilliantly original, classic works on the experience of Chinese immigrants in American. The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts, Maxine Hong Kingston's disturbing and fiercely beautiful account of growing up female and Chinese-American in California, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, as did China Men, her unforgettable imaginative journey into the hearts and minds of generations of Chinese men in American. In each book the author mines her family's past and her culture's stories, weaving myth and memory to fashion works of enormous revelatory power.
