Kingston, Maxine Hong The Fifth Book of Peace (Vintage Contemporaries)
Vintage September 28, 2 0-679-76063-6 / 9780679760634 Paperback Fine
Revered memoirist, fiction writer, and "woman warrior" Kingston's long-awai ted new book begins in 1991 when she and her family perform fire rites for her recently deceased father on the same day that a forest fire consumes he r Oakland home, taking with it the only copy of the manuscript of a novel t itled The Fourth Book of Peace, which was inspired by the ancient Chinese t ale of three legendary Books of Peace deliberately burned by the powers-tha t-be. The Fifth Book of Peace, a radiant quartet of discrete sections rich in myth, metaphysics, social critique, and story, grew out of Kingston's st ruggle to come to terms with her daunting losses, and to transform her suff ering into a new understanding of the suffering of everyone who survives vi olent upheaval and tragedy, especially in war. "Fire" is an intense report on the inferno. "Paper" recounts her search for the original Books of Peace . "Water" is a compelling and piquant novel about a Chinese American draft resister who leaves Berkeley for Hawaii during the Vietnam War. And "Earth" is a profoundly moving chronicle of the writing workshops Kingston organiz es for war veterans. Wise, warm, empathic, and spellbinding, Kingston grapp les with the spiritual toll of war and the elusiveness of peace in this man y-faceted and involving spiritual meditation on the healing power of story and the challenge of acting on one's beliefs.
