(3) 4-6 Hong's illustrated memoir of his youth makes the deprivations of the Cultural Revolution starkly apparent even as it limns a childhood that was universal in many ways. Panel illustrations are rendered with bold, expressive lines. Touches of red in an otherwise somber palette provide energy and dramatic reinforcement of the period's politics, as well as counterpointing the text's matter-of-fact tone.
