I choose Belle Yang to accompany me for the next three months. Three months is a long time with one person but I'm excited. She is not only an author but an artist. I am also a somewhat artist so I feel like I can connect with her. Also, as a Chinese author, she writes about China, its history, and its people. Her style is very flowery (for a lack of a better word in a lack of time), she writes as though she's painting which is what I like to do if I have no restraint. I am not sure what I am anticipating but I hope that she won't disappoint me. Fears...well, I just hope that her words are not so abstract that I won't be able to enjoy the story because I have to spend most of my time deciphering what she is trying to say. Belle Yang was not my first pick, but I know that she's as interesting as Maxine Hong Kingston (my first pick). I don't know anything about Belle Yang which makes it much more exciting.
