About the Author
Reviews
''An entertaining romp...He's the closest writer in Niseidom to write like Charles Bukowski.''--Rafu Shimpo
''Equal parts memoir and hiking diary, the book's Owens Valley landscapes give way to tales about Umemoto's many lives: as janitor, dishwasher, skid row denizen, soldier, jeweler, and writer.''--Los Angeles Magazine
"A Nisei's story of being confined in an internment camp during World War II and hardscrabble years afterward, interspersed with a diary of high-altitude hiking."--Kirkus Reviews
"With both grace and humor, Hank Umemoto tells stories of resilience, adventure, and courage. His engaging memoir is a welcome addition to the literature of the Japanese American experience."--Maggie Wittenburg, executive director, Manzanar History Association
