Historia
This anthology presents a new vision that recovers and reframes the literature produced by the people targeted by the actions of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress to deny Americans of Japanese ancestry any individual hearings or other due process after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. From nearly seventy selections of fiction, poetry, essays, memoirs, and letters emerges a shared story of the struggle to retain personal integrity in the face of increasing dehumanization—all anchored by the key government documents that incite the action.

Powerful and timely stories
Revisado: 02-05-25
The variety of writings collected since the incarnation of Americans, read in many voices, was masterfully edited.
Being from Seattle, the stories bring to life the history of the region during the aftermath of Pearl Harbor.

Historia
The Actual Star takes listeners on a journey over thousands of years and six continents—collapsing three separate timelines into one cave in the Belizean jungle. An epic saga of three reincarnated souls, this novel demonstrates the entanglements of tradition and progress, sister and stranger, love and hate. The book jumps forward and backward in time among a pair of twins who ruled a Maya kingdom, a young American on a trip of self-discovery, and two dangerous charismatics in a conflict that will determine the fate of the few humans left on Earth after massive climate change.

Best Audio Book So Far
Revisado: 09-09-22
The three eras of this book were so well delivered by the voices of three artists. Their characterizations did honor to this excellently crafted novel by Monica Byrne. I read the book first, then listed to this audio book with my spouse.

Historia
Social distancing came easily to Reagan. Maybe a little too easily. She’s always liked people better from afar. But Reagan doesn’t want her grandpa to be alone for Christmas this year - he’s already spent too much time on his own in 2020. So she heads back to her hometown with a dish of holiday Jell-O salad, hoping they can have a little normalcy. Hoping it will be safe...

Just what this Midwestern progressive expat needed
Revisado: 11-28-21
This story is perfect for anyone who has understood that leaving a Midwestern home immediately after high school was necessary to their stability and authenticity -- yet cannot stop "going back for more" at holidays. The global pandemic exposed the vast differences in world view for families like the protagonists' -- and my own. This story expresses the needs, longings and losses in a touching manner.

Historia
Narrated by award-winning actor Martin Sheen, The Home Front: Life in America During World War II takes listeners into the lives of Americans at home who supported the war effort and sustained the country during wartime. The war brought immediate, life-changing shifts; from the rationing of butter, to an explosion of war-related jobs, to mixed-signals about the role of women in society.

The "GoodWar"? This revealing podcast deepened my understanding of my parents' generation and how easily they have latched onto a different narrative, bolstered by the myth of American exceptionalism.
