Uncovering Forgotten Histories with Rahna Reiko Rizzuto
On needing to reveal hidden truth
On the podcast this week, I’m talking to Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, award-winning author of Why She Left Us, Hiroshima in the Morning, and Shadow Child.
Reiko tells us how her writing journey truly began with the discovery at age 30 that her Japanese-American mother and her family had been stripped of their citizenship and everything they owned and put in an internment camp during World War II. She also shares how she taught herself to write a novel, and teaches her students the same techniques.
