DESCRIPTION:Turning 90 for Hiroshi Kashiwagi simply marks his refinement as
  a writer/performer as he draws laughter\; pauses for deep\, knowing sighs
 \; and coaxes tears from his audience when reading from his book\,<em>&nbs
 p\;Starting From Loomis and Other Stories</em>. Join Kashiwagi on March 15
  at JAMsj as he recounts the arc of his life in his latest memoir of short
  stories and reflects on the moments\, people\, forces\, mysteries\, and c
 hoices that have made him who he is.\n<a></a>\n\nCentral to this collectio
 n are his experiences as a Japanese American during World War II\, includi
 ng his imprisonment at Tule Lake\, which led to the lifelong stigma of bei
 ng labeled a "No-No Boy" after his years of incarceration. His nonlinear\,
  multifaceted writing not only reflects the fragmentation of memory induce
 d by the multiple traumas of racism\, forced removal\, and incarceration\,
  but it also can be read as a bold personal response to the impossible con
 ditions he and other Nisei faced throughout their lifetimes.\n\n&nbsp\;"It
  is&nbsp\;in fact everything that Kashiwagi doesn't say\, everything betwe
 en the lines of his pen\, everything hovering so delicately above the narr
 ative\, that is so heartbreaking and painful . . . These stories recuperat
 e from erasure the history of Japanese American immigration and wartime de
 tention\, especially that of the Tule Lake incarceration\, and the sensibi
 lities and trauma of a Nisei whose long life\, creative talents\, and desi
 re to write have allowed him to reflect on this past."<em>-Karen Tei Yamas
 hita\, University of California\, Santa Cruz</em>\n\nRecent Article:&nbsp\
