Fugitive Pieces
by Anne Michaels
This first novel from an award-winning poet -- a #1 best-seller in Canada -- is certain to propel her into the front ranks of our very best practitioners of contemporary fiction.It is a story of World War II as remembered and imagined by one of its survivors: a poet named Jakob Beer, traumatically orphaned as a young child and smuggled out of Poland, first to a Greek island (where he will return as an adult), and later to Toronto. It is the story of how, over his lifetime, Jakob learns the power of language -- to destroy, to omit, to obliterate, but also to restore and to conjure, witness and tell -- as he comes to understand and experience what was lost to him and of what is possible for him to regain.Profoundly moving, brilliantly written -- as sensual and lyric as it is emotionally resonant -- Fugitive Pieces delves into the most difficult workings of the human heart and mind: the grief and healing of remembrance. It is a first novel of astonishing achievement.

HIROSHIMA JOE - A Novel of an American POW in Japan during WW 2
Booth, Martin
Boston 1985, Atlantic Monthly Press, 1st US ed, hard bound in dust jacket, Fine/Fine cond, 6x9, 441 pages. No one would have taken him for a hero. He was left behind in Hong Kong after World War 11, too broken to go home to England and too brave to give up hope. Now he lives in a cheap hotel room in Hong Kong, scrounging and even thieving for his room and board, occasionally paying a visit to a Buddhist monastery in the hills or to a bargirl in Kowloon. Not much of a life, it seems, but a thousand times better than the years lie spent in Japanese prison camps during the war-years that not even the opium den on Nam Tau Street can obliterate from his memory The local population calls him "Hiroshima Joe," and regards him with a mixture of pity and contempt. But Lieutenant Joe Sandingham - haunted by the sounds and voices from his past, debilitated by illness, and shattered by his wartime ordeal-is in fact a heroic figure. Here is a man who saw what no man should be made to see, who witnessed and suffered the ultimate horrors of twentieth-century warfare, but whose compassion and courage to survive leave us profoundly moved and, in the end, fill us with a sense of exhilaration and triumph. Some readers will be reminded of King Rat or Slaughterhouse Five; others of Under the Volcano; few will contest the assertion of London s Daily Telegraph that the story of Hiroshima Joe is "a brilliant achievement"; and many will remember it as the most powerful novel they have ever encountered. .
