Beschreibung
This translation of Saki Ryuzo’s Kinokogumo examines the experience of a young boy, Kosaka Ryo, from age four to thirteen, in a suburb of Hiroshima in prewar Japan. Ryo’s life in the village encompasses several central events: the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan’s surrender, and the death of Ryo’s father in the Philippines. Widowed at age thirty-five with four children, Ryo’s mother struggled to survive by selling rice on the black market and ultimately left for Yahata in Kyushu, searching for a better life. With its unique perspective on Japan and the living conditions there during and after the Pacific War, Mushroom Cloud will appeal to history and literature students.
Translated by Tomone Matsumoto
