As the culminating project for “my own private MFA,” I’m writing a book. It’s a memoir: a conversation with the archives of my dad’s life, including his unpublished book manuscript about his World War II incarceration as a Japanese American. I’ve been working on pieces of it for several years now. You can read the most recent description of the project here.
To read the entire list of posts about the book, click here. You can also follow the journey from this page, which I’ll update as I write more of the book.
