Title: Chinese Ptrimony
Product review: Although Baba is not the only book, of Belle Yang's, that I have read (and own), it is certainly among many penetrating descriptions ofChinese "beginnings" and the end and transition from adolescence to an unknown future:"One May morning in 1947, when the sorghum was just waist high, Baba began his journey upon a narrow wagon lane,winding through the dunes crowned by stubbles of willows." leads us to Belle's second volume, The Odyssey of a Manchurian,when Baba walks the length of China to end up in Taiwan.Belle Yang's literary/artistic approach gives us a perspective on the evolution of the Chinese approach to describing their "reality": a pictorial linerarity, (e.g., the Chinese "pictographs" of "written" language). This has recenly been brought to public attention via Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's, My Stroke of Insight--they function in a left-brain/right-brain (bicameral) reality.Naren Jackson
