American??

Why is this tagged as US and Asian-American. This is a Cdn author and a Cdn story set in Canada. I understand Japanese-Cdn or Asian-Cdn as a tag, and Canada, BC and Vancouver (and maybe Alberta). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.57.148 (talk) 20:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I just blew the American imperialist bullshit away. Varlaam (talk) 23:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Novel?

Not sure is this is a novel or not. PeregrineV 23:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• Most certainly a novel - albeit heavily autobiographical. --Victoriagirl 17:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

       Seriously, what was the point of that? RT Jones (talk) 04:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Replaced the text of Obasan article on Encyclopedia.com on the talk page with the hyperlink; the copied article swamped the page and made it difficult to navigate. It also violated copyright. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 23:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

"injured by the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima"

A single bomb dropped on two different cities on different days?

QUESTION: Isn't obasan "grandparent? While I am gaijin 40 years ago I lived in Iwakuni. I had about a 1000 word Japanese vocabulary then. Perhaps 50 words now.
