Description
The mask has become emblematic of the age of the Covid pandemic. It is also an important symbol of Japanese classical culture. For Terry Watada, it not only conceals and protects but also reveals the hidden truths of the wearer. Watada's The Mask reveals a deep sense of grief, loss, and injury, and love of family. Employing vivid imagery and powerful language, he expresses the isolation of the times, the vagaries of old age, and the mysteries of the mystical.
About the author
Terry Watada is a well-published author living in Toronto, Ontario. He has three novels, five poetry books, and a short story collection in print. Hiroshima Bomb Money, his fourth novel, is the culmination of his exploration of the Japanese and Japanese Canadian experience. Hiroshima Bomb Money comes from the heart, more so than any other, since at its core, the novel encompasses the Japanese experience during World War II. The book illuminates the events, incidents and atrocities of the Hiroshima bomb, the invasion of China and the Canadian Internment.
