Oda Makoto 小田実. Transl. D. H. Whittaker. The Bomb . HIROSHIMA Tokyo; New York, Kodansha International, 1990.
Previously published as The Bomb/ Tokyo/ Kodansha International, 1990. With discrimination and war as two main themes, this novel starts with a story of American workers, including Native Americans and Mexicans, who are exposed to radiation at a newly established nuclear testing ground in the U.S. in 1941. The story shifts through the war zone in the Pacific, Hiroshima, and finally to an apocalyptic ending. This novel, originally titled “Hiroshima,” was written by a contemporary novelist and peace activist who was known as the leader of the League of Citizens' Movements for Peace in Vietnam until it disbanded in 1973.
