No-No Boy by John Okada
Overwhelming.
John Okada was born in Seattle, Washington in 1923. He attended the
University of Washington and Columbia University. He served in the U.S.
Army in World War II, wrote one novel and died of a heart attack at the age
of 47. John Okada died in obscurity believing that Asian America had
rejected his work.
Personal Review: No-No Boy by John Okada
In general, John Okada may have created one of the greatest piece of
fiction I have ever read in the Asian American diaspora. The story kept me
transfixed to the pages and I had no trouble keeping up. I thoroughly
enjoyed the great detail and lengths he goes to accurately depict the life of
a "No-No" boy in a world confused by a country whom had betrayed them
and by their people who shun their existence. Powerful read.
