Winged Seed A Remembrance

"Just as Maxine Hong Kingston did in 'The Woman Warrior', Li-Young Lee has broken the Chinese code that equates silence with filial piety. He looks to words now, to stories for understanding and redeption. 'The Winged Seed' will probably never be as popular as Kingston's book--it is too strange, too difficult. Its treasures don't spill forth on a first reading; it cannot be gobbled. Readers must approach slowly, as if the prose were poetry. But this is a beautiful book whose images will haunt the reader just as they do the writer.Lee, Li-Young is the author of 'Winged Seed A Remembrance', published 1999 under ISBN 9781886913288 and ISBN 1886913285.
