Goodbye, Ms. Chang
I just found out that one of my favorite authors, of one of my favorite books (The Rape of Nanking), shot herself in the head yesterday. I almost bought her last book this past weekend, and was actually thinking about her the other day.
Sometimes, I would feel ashamed thinking of her because we're about the same age, and I can't even bring myself to finish any of the manuscripts I started in the past ten years.
I was really looking forward to the book she was working on about soldiers fighting in the Philippines during WWII. God, this really blows.
