Requiem: Männer in Uniform gehen von Haus zu Haus, hämmern an Türen, erteilen den Befehl zusammenzupacken. Fischerboote werden konfisziert, Menschen aus ihren Häusern getrieben. Auch Bins Familie, seine Geschwister Hiroshi und Keiko, seine Eltern, werden eines frühen Morgens, zu Beginn des Jahres 1942, abgeholt und weit fortgebracht, fort von ihrem Haus auf Vancouver Island, fort von dem Leben, das ihres war. Frances Itani widmet sich einem bislang wenig bekannten Kapitel kanadischer Geschichte: der Internierung aller Bürger japanischer Abstammung nach dem Angriff auf Pearl Harbor. Tausenden wurden Heim und Lebensgrundlage genommen, sie wurden in entlegene Teile des Landes verfrachtet und ihrer Freiheit beraubt. Fünfzig Jahre später macht sich Bin Okuma auf, das Land zu durchqueren und zum Lager am Fraser River zurückzukehren, dorthin, wo sein Vater einst, nach Jahren der Entbehrung und Not, eine Entscheidung traf, die sein Leben für immer veränderte. Ein Roman über eine Familie, die in die Fährnisse der Geschichte geriet, ein Roman von großer elegischer Kraft. Ebook.

Bin Okuma, a celebrated visual artist, has recently and quite suddenly lost his wife, Lena. He and his son, Greg, are left to deal with the shock. But Greg has returned to his studies on the East Coast, and Bin finds himself alone and pulled into memories he has avoided for much of his life. In 1942, after Pearl Harbor, his Japanese Canadian family was displaced from the West Coast. Now, he sets out to drive across the country: to complete the last works needed for an upcoming exhibition; to revisit the places that have shaped him; to find his biological father, who has been lost to him.
