Review :
"With its vibrant, tumultuous energy and its evocation of the contending lifestyles of a society in transition, this collection is best left to speak for itself." --Publishers Weekly "Though women writers of Taiwan may be unknown to an English-reading audience, their characters and struggle will be familiar and of unfailing interest. The stories vividly recreate and dramatize moments in women's lives, allowing the reader to stretch outside her own skin, however briefly. Bamboo Shoots after the Rain is a welcome and valuable addition to our growing knowledge about the inner lives and literary talents of Chinese women." --Amy Ling, author of Between Worlds: Women Writers of Chinese Ancestry "Bamboo Shoots after the Rain not only introduces non-Chinese readers to some of the best writing from a lively, changing tradition, but thoughtfully invites us to meet the women who wrote it on terms that honor their varying artistic purposes as well as their individual lives and shared (but differently experienced) contexts. Most of all, the book challenges its readers to risk self-knowledge in a way that breaks through the absurdly crude dichotomies of self/other, of sameness/difference." --Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich, author of Transforming Knowledge "A literary first, a model of cross-cultural interpretation and intergenerational insight in which the editors admirably achieve their purposes." --Gladys Chang Hardy-Brazil, educational policy consultant
