Harry's Apology

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (32882 ratings)

Description:In Tokyo, hidden by towers of steel and glass, huddles the ancient temple known as Zojoji. It is a sacred haven where thousands of stone effigies of stillborns are scattered, awaiting the arrival of the deity, Jizobosatsu, the Shinto rescuer of lost souls. It is also the place where one of the effigies defiantly holds a small American flag. That lone statue is all that remains to the memory of the POW abuse at nearby Omori prison and to the young men who perished at the hands of their captors. After waiting fifty-five years, one of the POW survivors, Harry Kaplonsky, has initiated a lawsuit against the Japanese government to even the score: he's suing for an apology. Coincident with the litigation, Harry is being interviewed, his memoirs considered a literary gold mine. Aspiring author, Tinker, his autobiographer and the story's narrator, has cornered him at the annual USS Houston reunion eager to record the deeds which have turned Harry into a vengeful old man. Early on, she discovers Harry is dying of cancer and quite eager to divulge the truth about the abuse that took place at Omori. It is Harry's supposed guilt in the deaths of five crewmates which has sparked his desire to tell-all; likewise, his culpability has led to a fifty year schism between himself and the remaining survivors. With the litigation, Harry is hoping to not only gain public attention for the plight of fallen comrades but also clear his name with his POW brothers. The legal action pits the old veteran against the might of the Japanese government and a U.S. State Department eager to gain trade concessions. Still, the story involves more than just Harry's tragedy. It casts revelations on atrocities of a different color-the unspoken violence within the modern American family, specifically Tinker's battering at the hands of her abusive parents. The story delves into the narrator's life and her coming to terms with an estranged father. The plot and sub-plot intertwine as Tinker spins Harry's story opposite her own.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
