Author: PAULA KAMEN
Title: Finding Iris Chang
Description: Da Capo Press, 2007. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 281. Iris Chang`s mysterious suicide in 2004, at age thirty-six, didn`t seem to make any sense. She had more to live for than anyone, including fame, fortune, beauty, a husband, and child. Some even wondered if the controversial author of the Rape of Nanking had been murdered. Long-time friend Paula Kamen was among those left wondering what had gone so wrong. Seeking to reconcile the suicide with the image of Chang`s "perfect" life, Kamen searched her own memory and scoured Chang`s letters, diaries, and archival material to fill in the gaps of Chang`s personal transformation-from awkward teen to homecoming princess in college, from "ex-shy person" to world-class speaker and international human rights pioneer-and later decline into mental illness and paranoia. A literary investigation of an important writer`s journey, Finding Iris is a tribute to a lost heroine, a portrait of the real and vulnerable woman who inspired so many around the world. ISBN: 9780306814662. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
