| Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empire |
By David Mura.
Ben Ohara is the sole surviving member his family. A troubled and brilliant astrophysicist, Ben’s younger brother has mysteriously vanished in the Mojave Desert.
His father, one of the No-No Boys who refused to sign a government loyalty oath during the World War II internment of Japanese Americans, committed suicide when Ben was young. And his mother, who steadfastly refused to revisit the past, has died with her secrets.
Now struggling to support his wife and children and under pressure to complete his historical study, Famous Suicides of the Japanese Empire, Ben realizes that the key to unlocking the future lies in reassessing the past. By retracing his brother’s footsteps and returning to the site of the Heart Mountain concentration camp, Ben uncovers a truth that has the power to set him free.
