The book argues that Buck, the first American woman to win both the Pulitzer and? Nobel prizes for literature, was a heroic forerunner of those who, while occupying a place in the world, never feel fully at home there; in Buck’s case because her Chinese identity throughout her life struggled with her American. For this reason Pearl S. Buck’s fiction deserves to be considered alongside that ofwriters such as Anchee Min, Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan. The book’s central claim is that Buck is a major novelist, capable of speaking to the distress of our times, richly deserving the honor she has received in | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Asian American writing; Chinese American life writing; Pearl Buck; Asian Literature; China living | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-3556-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-16-3558-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-16-3556-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2021 |
