Chang-rae Lee presented his book The Surrendered to an audience of over 70 people, as part of the Writers at Work series organized by Whitney Terrell.
Award-winning novelist Chang-rae Lee discussed his new novel The Surrendered, a spellbinding story of how love and war echo through an entire lifetime, on April 22, 2010, at the Central Library. The book has been called a profound meditation on the nature of heroism and sacrifice, the power of love, and the possibilities for mercy, salvation, and surrendering oneself to another.

September 1, 1939 -- May 7, 1945. What an ordeal. What a money maker.From my journal: Tues 15 Oct 2002: "On Monday we got up early-- had already purchased train tickets-- from Gare de l'Est to Epernay -> Reims. Then backtrack. [This is wrong. We went from Paris to Rheims, then Epernay, then back to Paris.] Stopped and got off at Reims. Went to see the museum in which Germans surrendered on 5 May 1945 [it was actually 7 May]. Eisenhowerama. Wandered down main drag to BAC [="Big Ass Church" ]. Windy, pleasant. Asked a man where the post office was, got a pleasant response, and understood it actually. JN sampled a sort of hotdog near the train station. A longi-sliced spicy wiener in bread. Horseradish mustard. R [Richard] declined food, should have gotten something. Then on to Epernay--"
I think my daughter has a good chance of taking on the role of Dorothy at some point in this life. Halloween, 2010. What kind of amazes me is that when I'm taking pictures of her, she actually poses just like this for me. I really don't need to tell her anything...
i've waited a hundred years.
but i'd wait a million more for you.
nothing prepared me for what the privilege
of being yours would do.
if i had only felt the warmth within your touch,
if i had only seen how you smile when you blush,
or how you curl your lip when you concentrate enough,
i would have known what i was living for all along.
what i've been living for.
your love is my turning page,
where only the sweetest words remain.
every kiss is a cursive line,
every touch is a redefining phrase.
i surrender who i've been for who you are,
for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart.
if i had only felt how it feels to be yours, well,
i would have known what I've been living for all along.
what i've been living for.
though we're tethered to the story we must tell,
when i saw you,
well, i knew we'd tell it well.
with a whisper,
we will tame the vicious seas.
like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees.
-turning page - sleeping at last
finally my gorgeous wedding album is in my hands!! almost 2 years later!
its amazing.
i didn't do any editing to this photo. this is how beautiful it really is!
Sightseeing the hidden spots in the mountain hills of Nagasaki in pouring rain was a special experience i will long remember.

Two pre-WWI US Army privates pose with a cart or limber. Man on right wears collar discs on a fold-down collar while one on left appears to have a stand-up collar without discs. Both wear cotton-khaki uniforms and leggings.
From the FDR series. The Roosevelt Memorial in Washington DC is the most varied and interesting of the presidential monuments. It is a rich source of material to exercise your mind's eye. This image began with a photo of one of the many reliefs in a bronze wall designed for "viewing" by the blind.

Yay!!! I am back!! I haven't surrendered nor stopped. For the days that I was gone, I had my photos taken but I just could not find the time to upload it.
AT the hotel room, the first thing that she saw was the phone, the pen and some paper. We have to detach the line attached to the phone to refrain her from making calls to the main reception. The whole entire time we were in the room for that day, the phone was with her.

In early April 1865, during the Civil War, Confederate forced marched through the central part of Virginia. They were led by general Robert E Lee. Hot on his tail was Federal forces led by general Ulysses S Grant. Grant was promoted from Brigadier General to Major General and given controll over the Union Army in order to hunt down Robert E Lee and end the war.
On April 9, 1865, these forces met in the little town of Appomattox, Va. Grant sent a letter to Lee asking him to surrender. Lee wrote back saying that he is tired of this war and too many lives have been lost. He would agree to surrender if his demands be met including the pardon of all his men plus the whole Confederate Army. Grant agreed and set up a meet that day. He then had a surrender paper written for Lee to sign.
Later that afternoon, Lee, his general and his army rode up to the town of Appomattox waving white towels meaning they were surrendering and coming unarmed. This was one of the towels that was waved that day when Lee surrendered and led to a chain of activities bringing the Civil War to an end.
The surrendor towel is located at the Appomattox National Park in Appomattox, Va.
