Kometani is rare among Japanese writers and cultural commentators in that she has lived in the United States for most of her adult life, bringing an outsider's--and woman's--perspective to both her adopted home and her native Japan. She lives her life in between cultures, and mines that gap to provide a thoroughly modern take on both societies.In "Family Business," Megumi, a long time resident of the United States, returns to Japan to visit her 87-year-old mother. After so many years living abroad, Megumi is almost as befuddled by the exotic intricacies of contemporary Japan as a foreigner. When her nephew runs away from home, and her elderly mother gives chase, Megumi sets off on a road trip through modern Japan--and her own past."1001 Raging Fires" chronicles a Japanese woman living in California during the Rodney King riots and struggling to come to terms with being an outcast from a society that itself seems to be self-immolating. Yu learns the real price of exclusion is that which your own family makes you pay.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: FictionItem Height: 213mmItem Length: 139mmItem Weight: 294gTranslator: Mary Goebel NoguchiContributor: Mary Goebel Noguchi (Translated by)Book Series: Japanese Literature (Dalkey)Item Width: 17mmRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
