Award-winning poet David Mura's critically acclaimed memoir Turning
Japanese chronicles how a year in Japan transformed his sense of
self and pulled into sharp focus his complicated inheritance. Mura
is a sansei, a third-generation Japanese-American who grew up on
baseball and hot dogs in a Chicago suburb, where he heard more
Yiddish than Japanese. Turning Japanese chronicles his quest for
identity with honesty, intelligence, and poetic vision and it
stands as a classic meditation on difference and assimilation and
is a valuable window onto a country that has long fascinated our
own. Turning Japanese was a New York Times Notable Book and winner
of an Oakland PEN Josephine Miles Book Award. This edition includes
a new afterword by the author.
