How did you grow up in the 1950s when you were born in the United States to Chinese immigrant parents? How does a first-generation Chinese-American girl live, torn between two cultures, in California? In The Warrior Woman, Maxine Hong Kingston explores this heritage and how he built it. A book first published in 1975, which was a great success, but which has just had a new French translation by Éditions La Croisée. 82-year-old writer Maxine Hong Kingston is delighted. Marie Normand joined her in California.
