Review and Teaching Essay by Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata
Copyright: Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata, June 2001. Fair use "encouraged."
This essay is based on online sample work from Porcupine Literary Arts Magazine, Portfolio (Volume 4 Issue 2), Jin Xu. backup"Jin is the daughter of prominent Chinese dissident, Xu Wenli. In 1981, when Jin was eight, her father was imprisoned for twelve years for advocating free speech."
Our essay will have to go up in July of 2001. But meanwhile, look at Jin Xu's discussion of "Waiting," and her explanation of what that bamboo boat meant to her and her family.
More to come . . . jeanne
