Following on the heels of three memoirs, On Tokyo's Edge re-creates the texture of life among a rarefied group of relatively isolated foreigners in American-Occupied Japan and the decade following Occupation. Peopling these interrelated short fictions are a great range of vivid characters, including schoolmates, lovers, military men, chemistry teachers, maids, a lustful preacher, and a missionary of exemplary character. Many of the tales focus on young Robert La Salle, suddenly transplanted at age five to a culture 8,000 miles distant and who, as year follows year, confronts levels of "foreignness" within himself and his family as well as the strange larger world around him."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Aliens $z Japan $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Manners and customs $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Japan $x Social conditions $y 1945- $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Aliens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805278 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017023411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1D5822EF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
