"Mori’s superbly structured short stories are . . . tender, evocative episodes of growing up as a Japanese American prior to World War II."
* San Francisco Chronicle *"Mori is unafraid to let the humanity of his characters and himself shine through bravely."
* Oakland Tribune *"A unique record of Japanese American life in Northern California in the decades just before World War II."
* Exploration in Sights and Sounds *"Originally published in 1949, these twenty-two stories present subtle glimpses into the lives of Japanese-Americans in their neighborhood in Oakland, California, aka 'Yokohama.' Mori has a delicate touch, and the stories have more than a passing resemblance to Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio (1919)."
