Largehearted Boy’s “Why Obama”
This essay appears in the anthology Why I’m a Democrat (PoliPoint Press) which was edited by Susan Mulcahy. The proceeds of this book benefit survivors of the Katrina Hurricane. Contributors include: Frank McCourt, Jonathan Franzen, Isaac Mizrahi, Tama Janowitz, Maira Kalmon, Tony Bennett and Melissa Etheridge. Incidentally, I am a huge fan of David Gutkowski of Largeheartedboy.com, because indeed, his heart is enormous.

Profiles about my work appeared in The Japan Times and J-Select this month. The article in The Japan Times (“Tackling the ‘Zainichi’ experience”, September 9, 2008) was written by Tim Hornyak, author of Loving the Machine: The Art and Science of Japanese Robots, and the feature in J-Select (“The Reluctant Expatriate,” Sept/Oct 2008) was written by Suzanne Kamata, author of the novel Losing Kei. It’s been great to meet such wonderful writers in Japan.”
