Set largely in the neighborhood near Columbia University, it provides a unique perspective of a multicultural community in transition, navigating the issues of identity, death, the Vietnam War, drugs, military duty, and coming of age as a minority in a time of turmoil. These well-crafted tales are told in Tsujimoto's poetic combination of New York street and elevated diction, reflecting the life of a high school dropout who eventually finds his way to college and a more fulfilling adult life. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $z Hawaii $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Morningside Heights (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 830 0 $a Bamboo Ridge ; $v 92. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824084304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AED59526C0311DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
