Table of Contents Preface to the Fortieth Anniversary Edition Crossing Homecoming Once upon a Time, on a Sunday Lost Names An Empire for Rubber Balls "Is Someone Dying?" In the Making of History-Together Author's Note Review "Lost Names is not a poem of hate, but a poem of love. . . . It is elegaic. It rises to moments of considerable dramatic power, but its finest moments, as when we see the cemeteries full of Koreans apologizing to their ancestors for having lost their names, are lyrical." * New York Times *"The author's clear, evocative narrative describes a terrifying experience—foreign occupation. Its homely detail demonstrates how pervasive nationality is, and how painful any attempt to destroy it." * New Yorker *"This memorable document of courage and endurance is written with clarity and vigor, pierced with moments of poignant love and the blazing resentment of the young." * Saturday Review * Review Quote "The author's clear, evocative narrative describes a terrifying experience-foreign occupation. Its homely detail demonstrates how pervasive nationality is, and how painful any attempt to destroy it. " Details ISBN0520268121 Author Richard E.
