His memory -- his mind, really -- is blocking and altering his recollection of what transpired in the early forties in Chongqing. What he remembers about his mother is especially jagged and conflicting. Such repression is a theme Alex Kuo pursues in many of his stories. Likewise censorship and state terrorism, ideology and dissidence.
Alex Kuo was born in the United States but raised in China during World War II. He has traveled extensively there as a Senior Fulbright Fellow, Lingnan Fellow, and lecturer.
