   Extractions: This paper shows how Kogawa uses a finely balanced set of techniques in the journal/diary form to write "Obasan". The writer is a big fan of the writer and her writing style and points out a number of reasons why she used these techniques to deliver the dramatic effect. The paper includes a few comparisons to other diary-style literary pieces including "The Diary of Adrian Mole" and others. "Perhaps the most obvious structural aspect of Kogawa's use of the journal/diary form in Obasan is her manipulation of time. In a method similar to that employed by Michael Ondaatje in The English Patient, Kogawa tells the story from the point of view of a tortured adult in the present viewing defining moments in his or her past through vivid flashbacks. In contrast to Ondaatje, Kogawa's flashbacks extend right through to early childhood and are expressed both innocently (from the child's point of view) as well as analytically (from the adult Naomi's point of view)."

Main Page Joy Kogawa - Vancouver Joy Kogawa is one of British Columbia's most celebrated and inspirational authors, whose work has been instrumental in raising Canadian consciousness about wartime injustices. Ms. Kogawa's award-winning first novel, Obasan, is an illuminating portrayal of the internment of Japanese-Canadians in Canada during World War II. Obasan is now considered one of the most important novels ever published in Canada, and is required curriculum for Canadian high schools and universities.
