Synopsis

The Darkroom of Memory is a tale about growing up, searching for love, yearning for the fullness of life, negotiating warring allegiances, and managing the world through the use and misuse of language.

The novel is set within the egregious world of a WWII prison camp thrown up in Arkansas for Japanese nationals and Japanese American citizens incarcerated en masse on the hysterical assumption that disloyalty was genetically encoded in their ancestry. Like all accounts of the Japanese internment, The Darkroom of Memory is about imprisonment, but unlike all other works, it imagines internees and camp administrators alike, incarcerated by their own personal demons as well as by barbed wire.
