Three Virtuous Women: And Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798822979314)

Personal history meets fiction in this engrossing collection of essays and short stories from an Air Force veteran.

Three Virtuous Women is a collection of essays and short stories inspired by people and events in author Whit Knight's life. "Part One" blends memories and fiction to relate the trials and triumphs of three Asian women. Drawing from his own experience while serving in the United States Air Force, Knight taps into his affinity for the history and culture of the Far East to fill in the gaps in their stories. Highlighting the complexity, pain, and beauty of life, Knight explores both the light and darkness that touches their lives while infusing his own humor and grace. "Part Two" is a range of parodies and spoofs centered around ancient technology à la The Trojan Horse, and "Part Three" features personal history related to Knight's family and his love of music. The book is a love letter to people, both real and imagined, memories, and music, reflecting Knight's lifelong love affair with Eastern culture.
