The Calgary Herald ran a terrific piece that came out October 11. Aritha van Herk wrote about authors from mixed cultural backgrounds and how that has influenced their writing. It was a really good piece:

“Although shattered by war and the struggle between Japanese and Americans, the spirit of Okinawa shimmers beyond its military and political occupation. Tamayose tells the story of how ordinary people took refuge in the sand caves during the war, at the same time as she portrays how the Canadian prairies become a refuge for one family.”
