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. From the Paper "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)."

She lived there until her family was transported to an internment camp in central British Columbia. In 1941 the Canadian Government began a movement of Japanese people to internment camps. The Canadian government feared subversive acts from Japanese-Canadians and immigrants. The government also confiscated possessions and property from the Japanese-Canadians. Later they were sent to a camp in Coaldale in South Alberta. At the camps she and her family lived a life of field labor until the late 1940's when Joy began her studies at several universities.

Send e-mail Toronto, September, 2006. When Joy Kogawa wrote Obasan , she wrote not only for Japanese Canadians but for all of us.  Named the eleventh most influential novel  of the twentieth century by "Quill and Quire," Obasan tells the story of the Japanese Canadian internment through the eyes of a child. And this is the "home" to which Joy and her family, all Canadian citizens,  were deported,  Slocan City, an abandoned ghost town in Slocan Valley, deep in the interior of British Columbia.  Little remains of Slocan today:  after the war, it literally disintegrated. Joy writes to Anton Wagner on 4//11/03 after Anton asked for her memories of the house.
