No-No Boy, John Okada's only published novel, centers on a Japanese
American who refuses to fight for the country that incarcerated him
and his people in World War II and, upon release from federal
prison after the war, is cast out by his divided community. In
1957, the novel faced a similar rejection until it was rediscovered
and reissued in 1976 to become a celebrated classic of American
literature. As a result of Okada's untimely death at age
forty-seven, the author's life and other works have remained
obscure. This compelling collection offers the first full-length
examination of Okada's development as an artist, placing recently
discovered writing by Okada alongside essays that reassess his
lasting legacy. Meticulously researched biographical details,
insight from friends and relatives, and a trove of intimate
photographs illuminate Okada's early life in Seattle, military
service, and careers as a public librarian and a technical writer
in the aerospace industry. This volume is an essential companion to
No-No Boy.
