You should know that my mother's expressive command of English belies how much she actually understands. She reads the Forbes report, listens to Wall
Street Week, converses daily with her stockbroker, reads all of Shirley MacLaine's books with ease-all kinds of things I can't begin to understand. Yet some
of my friends tell me they understand fifty percent of what my mother says. Some say they understand eighty to ninety percent. Some say they understand
none of it, as if she were speaking pure Chinese. But to me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It's my mother tongue. Her language,
as I hear is it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way saw things, expressed things, made sense of
the world.
