Book excerpt: "A collection of linked short stories exploring Japanese American life in a fictional California town in the 1920s and 1930s, this book is frequently cited as the first work of fiction published by a Japanese American in the United States. Originally scheduled for publication in 1942, the book was delayed by World War II, and eventually published in 1949 to brief acclaim. 'At the U.S. government incarceration camp Topaz, Mori worked for the camp newspaper and continued to write fiction. Although he remained committed to his craft the rest of his life, widespread recognition within the Japanese American community did not arrive until the 1970s, when a more receptive generation of Sansei readers, writers and critics rediscovered his work' (Densho Encyclopedia)"--Bookseller's note.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chauvinist and Other Stories features twenty-two stories of Japanese-American life, ranging in settings from pre-WWII era California, to wartime internment camps, to the postwar Nisei experience. As an Asian Times reviewer notes when The Chauvinist first appeared, Mori "cannot fail to reach [his readers] because he is an honest man, speaking from his own experience, his own suffering and happiness, his own real and human life." The writer Hisaye Yamamoto, in the original introduction to this collection, declared Mori "indisputably the pioneer of Japanese American literature." The collection's republication in this volume marks the first time these stories are widely available in over forty years. About the author: Toshio Mori (1910 - 1980) was born in Oakland and spent most of his life in San Leandro, California, where his family owned a nursery. He began writing in 1932, working at night after a day in the nursery, and was encouraged by William Saroyan, who became a lifelong friend. Mori's first book, Yokohama, California, was scheduled to appear in 1941, but the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the ensuing anti-Japanese racism, put the book's publication on hold. Like most Japanese-Americans, Mori's family was forcefully relocated to an internment camp in Topaz, Utah, where worked as the camp historian. At the end of World War II, Mori returned to run his family nursery. His book, released in 1949, made him the first published Japanese-American author of literary fiction. Despite critical acclaim, Mori fell into relative obscurity until the early 1970's, when a new generation of Sansei-third generation Japanese-American students-discovered his writing, leading to the publication of two new books, Woman from Hiroshima and The Chauvinist and Other Stories. His third collection, Unfinished Message, was published posthumously in 2000.

Book excerpt: Born in Oakland, California, in 1910, the young Toshio Mori dreamed of being an artist, a Buddhist missionary, and a baseball player. Instead, he grew flowers in the family nursery business, and -- influenced by contemporaries such as Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway -- produced a body of extraordinary fiction. Unfinished Message includes fifteen stories, a novella, correspondence, and an interview with Toshio Mori.

Book excerpt: The Yokohama Project: An interesting building usually has an equally interesting tale to tell, an epic embedded in the organization of the massive, complex amount of matter used to create the structure. This book recounts the story of the Yokokama Project, an inventive, undulating, grass-covered ferry terminal that was never meant to be built. Asked to produce some material for an architectural journal, London-based architects Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera-Polo of FOA (Foreign Office Architects) set themselves a program of entering three competitions, through which to explore design ideas they had become interested in. When they actually won the second competition, for the Yokohama International Port Terminal, in Yokohama, Japan, their plans suddenly changed. The Yokohama Project presents a textual and visual replica of the way their winning building was developed, over eight years, by FOA and a huge team of engineers and researchers in Tokyo and Yokohama. Unlike the typical architectural book, this one offers no critical texts and no theoretical analyses of the structure; instead, it aims to rediscover the linearity of the building's creation. The reader is thus moved linearly through the following chapters: Design Evolution, Building Permits, Structure, Services, Finishes, Circulation, and Final Documents. Peppered throughout with detailed plans, elevations, diagrams, and sketches, as well as candid snapshots of the design team at work (sometimes asleep at and under their desks!), The Yokohama Project is not only an homage to a building but to the many people who worked on making it real. Foreign Office Architects is a pioneering architectural practice founded in London in1992. It has since expanded to include an office in Japan. The principal partners are Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera Polo, both of whom are graduates of Harvard University's Masters in Architecture program and former employees of Rem Koolhaus's OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture). Current projects include a publishing headquarters in Paju City, Korea, and a park and open-air auditorium in Barcelona, Spain. Completed projects include New Belgo restaurant and Bermondsey Antiques Market in London. This past year, FOA were among the short-listed winners for the competition to design Porto Antico in Genova, Italy.
