Description: Further DetailsTitle: John OkadaCondition: NewDescription: No-No Boy, John Okada’s only published novel, centers on a Japanese American who refuses to fight for the country that incarcerated him and his people in World War II and, upon release from federal prison after the war, is cast out by his divided community. In 1957, the novel faced a similar rejection until it was rediscovered and reissued in 1976 to become a celebrated classic of American literature. As a result of Okada’s untimely death at age forty-seven, the author’s life and other works have remained obscure.This compelling collection offers the first full-length examination of Okada’s development as an artist, placing recently discovered writing by Okada alongside essays that reassess his lasting legacy. Meticulously researched biographical details, insight from friends and relatives, and a trove of intimate photographs illuminate Okada’s early life in Seattle, military service, and careers as a public librarian and a technical writer in the aerospace industry. This volume is an essential companion to No-No Boy.Author: Greg RobinsonContributor: Greg Robinson (Edited by), Floyd Cheung (Edited by), Frank Abe (Edited by)Country/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780295743523Format: HardbackGenre: BiographyISBN: 9780295743523ISBN-10: 0295743522Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 680gLanguage: EnglishPublisher: University of Washington PressRelease Date: 07/03/2018Book Series: John OkadaSubtitle: The Life and Rediscovered Work of the Author of No-No BoyTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, HistoryRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
