Book Preview:

#1 I was born in Japan between two worlds. I was Korean on my father’s side and Japanese on my mother’s side. I was raised in a poor Korean family in Mizonokuchi, a neighborhood south of Tokyo. I dreamed of becoming the prime minister of Japan.

#2 My mother, Miyoko, was a woman of strong character. She had an oval face that was beautiful in its way. My father, on the other hand, had sharp, razorlike eyes, a well-built body, and muscular shoulders. I don’t know what my mother saw in him.

#3 My grandmother once said to me, Koreans are barbarians. I loved her, but I resented her remark. I felt Japanese, but I was half-Korean, and I hated it. I had a strong sense of revulsion toward my father, who certainly lived up to the barbaric reputation of Koreans when he beat my mother.

#4 My father, who was a member of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, became known as Tiger because of his fighting skills. But the group was deemed a terrorist group and was ordered to disband in 1949.
