This evening's discussion will center around the work of Maxine Hong Kingston, the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, especially her The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts.
Some of the most storied, and studied, lines of 20th-century American literature landed in 1976. They came from a math and English high school teacher living in Hawai’i. She was 35.
“You must not tell anyone,” my mother said, “what I am about to tell you. In China your father had a sister who killed herself. She jumped into the family well. We say that your father had all brothers because it is as if she had never been born.”
This opening to The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts is titled “No Name Woman.” The Woman Warrior garnered a rave review from the influential New York Times critic John Leonard, won an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award and a National Book Critics Circle prize.
This fall, the Ohio Center for the Book is pleased to collaborate with Ursuline College and Case Western Reserve University in co-hosting this series of book discussions dedicated to the 2024 Anisfield-Wolf Award winners.
