Maxine Hong Kingston"The Fifth Book of Peace"
March 4, 1994
A fire at home destroys her manuscript and reminds Maxine Hong Kingston of the firebombing of Vietnam. She extends the analogy of private loss and public tragedy to arrive at a novel whose purpose is to promote personal serenity and global peace.
