Winner of the 2020 PEN Open Book AwardBest of 2019: Nonfiction - Entropy MagazineA memoir and book of mourning, a grandson's attempt to reconcile his own uncontested citizenship with his grandfather's lifelong struggle.Award-winning poet Brandon Shimoda has crafted a lyrical portrait of his paternal grandfather, Midori Shimoda, whose life - child migrant, talented photographer, suspected enemy alien and spy, desert wanderer, American citizen - mirrors the arc of Japanese America in the 20th century. In a series of pilgrimages, Shimoda records the search to find his grandfather and unfolds, in the process, a moving elegy on memory and forgetting.Praise for The Grave on the Wall:"Shimoda brings his poetic lyricism to this moving and elegant memoir, the structure of which reflects the fragmentation of memories.? It is at once wistful and devastating to see Midori's life come full circle.... In between is a life with tragedy, love, and the horrors unleashed by the atomic bomb." .
