Description

Great International Stories features eight short stories and three plays that cover vast territories, unique subject matter, and times of historical value. In "Debut of a Bug Boy" we meet Mitchell, a jockey about to ride in the first race at the Hollywood Park Race Track. "Peace Memorial Hall" transports us to the last days of the Second World War, when the Japanese empire was collapsing, and the people of occupied Okinawa were subjected to abuse by their conquerors; and "Exiled to Miyako" takes us through an era when the leper settlement in Kalaupapa, Molokai, was a taboo topic. Not all the subject matter is grim and painful, however. "The Chick Sexer" is a humorous one-act play about a Nisei veteran who returns from the European front and starts a chick-sexing business. This collection is a masterful blend of literary expression and social commentary, presented in authentic ethnic voices and rich, elegant prose.
