by G. L. Tysk (Author)
From 2003-2006, author G.L. Tysk lived in Japan. This short collection of fiction, essay, and poetry was inspired by her stay in a country that became her second home, from living in Tokyo and Aomori to her subsequent travels in Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. From riding the bullet train in Tokyo to the yearly ritual of the cherry blossoms, experience her Japan through these sometimes fantastical, sometimes personal stories.
G.L. Tysk was born in Chicago to Hong Kong immigrants. She was raised in Texas, moved abroad to Japan, and now lives in Massachusetts with her Norwegian-American husband. This muddling of multiple cultures drives her to explore the effect of cultural exchange and diversity in her writing. Her work focuses on early American whaling and its impact on globalization, 19th century colonialism, and Asian and Pacific Islander immigrant culture. She has sailed square-rigged vessels with Sea Education Association and with Mystic Seaport aboard the historic whaleship Charles W. Morgan. She lives in Boston.
