"Life in an Internment Camp: Joy Kogawa"
"This was one of the most remarkable conversations I’ve ever had that touched me in a way I was not expecting. Never have I experienced such wisdom and insight from stories of the unimaginable horrors of war. My guest this week is Joy Kogawa. Joy is the author best known for her 1981 classic novel "Obasan", based on Joy and her family’s forced relocation to Japanese internment camps during the Second World War.
She was made a member of the Order of Canada, the Order of B.C., the Order of the Rising Sun, and has received seven honorary doctorates in literature, law, and divinity from several Canadian universities. The lessons Joy has learned in her life are truly magnificent and we can learn a lot from her. I hope this conversation touches you as profoundly as it touched me and you take something away from it."
