Known for his slender output of prose during the pre-WWII and immediate postwar periods, Hara is most popularly admired 'Summer Flowers', a short story about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which he survived. Hara becomes both a historical figure and a collaborator, as the work explores how violence, memory, and loss are shaped through historical archives. Presented as a collection of thirteen imagined letters written between Allie Tsubota (US) and Hara, the correspondence elaborates on the legacy of atomic disaster, while weaving a pliable, potentially fictive narrative that crosses historical time. Including images from the United States military archive of Occupied Japan in 1945, which Tsubota treats as a political instrument, and photographs taken by Tsubota in Hiroshima and Tokyo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Eriskay Connection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57706114580824,"sku":"43687","price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/doyoureadme.de\/products\/dead-letter-room-allie-tsubota","provider":"do you read me?!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
