Description

Ohishi is a scholar, banished from his academic post for loyalty to his disgraced mentor.An unstable narrator, whose voice wavers in tense and person, he is derailed-a kind-hearted man, shunned by his peers, abandoned by his wife and child, prone to self-loathing, suffering from doubt.As the novel opens-the precise moment of Japan's mega-quake, March 11, 2011-Oishi is living a vagabond existence; in exile, traversing the country in a camper, photographing tunnels with a defective camera, meditating on life's fickle twists and turns.Alienated from self and others, Ohishi spies the horrific images of a tsunami engulfing his wife's fishing village, Kamaishi, and speeds north to locate his family.In the process, he begins an odyssey back to reclaiming himself. Rescuing a young girl separated from her parents, then a dog whose owner has perished, before happening upon the corpses of his dead in-laws and reuniting with his distraught wife.Together the survivors seek out their missing and, in the process, form a post-apocalyptic family - one built on exigency, endurance, courage, enterprise, hope, forgiveness and trust.Volume Two in The 3-11 Trilogy (with companion volumes, Tsunami and . . . and the world shifted), Escape from Sonoyo is a book of journeys-metaphysical, personal and communal-with resonances of both THE ROAD and MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA.An allegorical tale-at once intimate and vast; psychological and sociological; contemporary and historical, mystical and mundane-it personalizes human calamity and plays witness to the struggle for closure and culmination. In the process, it addresses matters of loyalty, purpose, honor, courage, shame, love, adaptability, resilience, spirituality, redemption and purpose.
