    Me: A Book of Remembranceby Winnifred Eaton, with an afterword by Linda Trinh MoserA Chinese-Eurasians autobiographical novel tracing a womans dual quest for a writing career and romance.Winnifred Eaton published her books under a Japanese-sounding name, Onoto Watanna, but she was of Chinese ancestry. In this autobiographical novel, Nora Ascouth is a powerless young woman typical of the working class. In the narrative, as Nora journeys from her birthplace in Canada to search out a career, first in Jamaica, and then in the United States, Eaton imparts her own experiences with rejection and the struggle to gain success and love. The autobiographical plotline likewise discloses a remarkable secret, the authors ethnic shame and her reticence to speak of her own half-Chinese identity. I myself was dark and foreign-looking, Nora says, but the blond type I adored. Like other ethnic immigrants, Winnifred and Nora are indoctrinated by Americas Anglo preference.Noras painful search ends, however, as the authors did. She gains achievementas a novelist.Winnifred Eaton (1875-1954), the author of many popular books of the 1920s and 1930s, was born in Montreal but spent most of her life in New York, Hollywood, and Calgary.
