Snap Judgement: Books.(Little Scarlet)(The Generation of 'Uchira' and 'Osoro')(Country of Origin)(Brief Article)(Book Review)
Byline: Kay Itoi, Malcolm Jones
Country of Origin by Don Lee
It's 1980, and Lisa Countryman, an exotic young American, goes missing in Tokyo. She had been working as a hostess at an exclusive bar, claiming to be doing research on Japanese women for her dissertation. But Lisa, half Asian and half black, has a secret agenda, which becomes clear only late in the book. Almost all the characters--including a junior U.S. diplomat assigned to her case and a Japanese cop on her trail--have complex issues with race. In this innovative first novel set on the eve of Japan's economic boom, Lee, a Korean-American who grew up in Tokyo and Seoul, tells a poignant story of prejudice, betrayal and the search for identity.
