Reviews
Clinging to their proud faith through delusion and madness, the modern heirs of Japan's 17th-Century Christian martyrs couple, insect-like, in the presence of Our Lady as Nagasaki observes the anniversary of the atomic bombing. Paul Warham's beautiful translations bring us into Seirai Yuichi's unique world., Clinging to their proud faith through delusion and madness, the modern heirs of Japan's seventeenth-century Christian martyrs couple, insect-like, in the presence of Our Lady as Nagasaki observes the anniversary of the atomic bombing. Paul Warham's beautiful translations bring us into Seirai Yuichi's unique world., Seirai makes Nagasaki the vibrant city we know it is from the historical past, and peoples it with a cast of contemporary characters whose voices are loud and clear., A moving document of the atomic experience and one that suggests the ways it still affects Japan today., Ground Zero, Nagasaki represents some of the best literary fiction that is being produced in Japan today. It should gain an appreciative audience among those who enjoy moving, informative writing., Is Ground Zero, Nagasaki worth the $35 asking price for the hardcover? Yes, I think so.Will the stories in this book be of interest to anyone outside of the academic field of Japanese literary studies? Absolutely. It's not easy to read this book, but that's a major part of what allows it to dig so deeply into the reader., [Seirai Yuichi's] sprawling tales are not only enjoyable but also grounded in complex thoughts and analysis that make the read a worthwhile one., Paul Warham's clear translation means Yuichi's writing retains a beautiful honesty and engaging symbolism.... These stories offer a nuanced insight into the psyche of Nagasaki's survivors.
