It's that time again. It's KPFA's final fundraiser of the year. Today's show features an interview with acclaimed writer Maxine Hong Kingston that was aired over a year ago, along with a conversation between Maxine and Gary Gach, author of PAUSE, BREATHE, SMILE: AWAKENING MINDFULNESS WHEN MEDITATION IS NOT ENOUGH. (For anyone who doesn't know, Maxine is author of THE WOMAN WARRIOR, the most frequently taught book by a living writer in American universities, and CHINA MEN, winner of the National Book Award.)

Kate Raphael says: "We're offering the full 90+ minute talk as a thank you gift for your pledge to KPFA of $75 or $5 a month (I know, $5 a month is $60, but that's what they told me), and the book for a donation of $100 (book and CD for $150). Usually I think meditation and mindfulness are not my thing, but I have to say, I was kind of blown away by this discussion, especially when Maxine said that protest marches are a form of meditation! [Note: gifts are still available on KPFA Donate.]
"Any amount, from $5 to $500, helps us make our goal of $1500 for the hour, and lets KPFA know that you value feminist and gender-oriented programming. And helps keep the voices you need coming to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (I was hearing the new Sunday evening music show, Motown on Mondays, while I was here at the station tonight, and it's pretty great. If you haven't heard it, check it out - 10 pm on Sundays.)"
