Description

Set in the internment camps of the British Columbia interior during World War II, Terry Watada's Daruma Days captures the Japanese Canadian experience of imprisonment. Watada draws on the accounts of people who lived through the camps, often speaking with the voices of the issei and nisei, to portray the camps as haunted by demonic forces, the inhabitants caught between two worlds: the cultures of Japan and Canada.

About the author

Terry Watada is a well-published author living in Toronto, Ontario. He has three novels, five poetry books, and a short story collection in print. Hiroshima Bomb Money, his fourth novel, is the culmination of his exploration of the Japanese and Japanese Canadian experience. Hiroshima Bomb Money comes from the heart, more so than any other, since at its core, the novel encompasses the Japanese experience during World War II. The book illuminates the events, incidents and atrocities of the Hiroshima bomb, the invasion of China and the Canadian Internment.
