Anchee Min
In 1994, Anchee Min made her literary debut with a memoir of growing up in China during the violent trauma of the Cultural Revolution. Red Azalea became an international bestseller and propelled her career as a successful, critically acclaimed author. Twenty years later, Min returns to the story of her own life to give us the next chapter, an immigrant story that takes her from the shocking deprivations of her homeland to the sudden bounty of the promised land of America, without language, money, or a clear path. It is a hard and lonely road. She teaches herself English by watching Sesame Street, keeps herself afloat working five jobs at once, lives in unheated rooms, suffers rape, collapses from exhaustion, marries poorly and divorces.
But she also gives birth to her daughter, Lauryann, who will inspire her and finally root her in her new country. Min's eventual successes-her writing career, a daughter at Stanford, a second husband she loves-are remarkable, but it is her struggle throughout toward genuine selfhood that elevates this dramatic, classic immigrant story to something powerfully universal.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Cooked Seed to be better than the print version?
NAWhat other book might you compare The Cooked Seed to and why?
"Memoirs of a Geisha" in that this was the story of Anchee.Which scene was your favorite?
I loved the scene where Anchee and her daughter were discussing self worth and acceptance. What child doesn't long to hear the words of their parent tell them that they love and accept them exactly as they are? It brought tears to my eyes!Any additional comments?
As Anchee became more Americanized, I found myself categorizing her actions and feelings as Chinese reactions, American reactions, and simply being a woman--especially with her relationship with her first husband. Internally, she knew it that her marriage would not work, but I found myself making the same choices that she made.Wonderful read!
