Reviews
"These stories by Asako Serizawa are tremendous, intimate, startling and essential; they show us how the past is so often the most powerful force in what we idly call the present." -- Rivka Galchen , author of Little Labors "An extraordinary book--beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant and profoundly moving. Asako Serizawa imbues her characters with so much depth and generosity that I felt as if I were reading about people I already knew and loved. An intensely powerful book by a writer with endless talent." -- Molly Antopol , author of The UnAmericans "This splendid story collection is a sword through the heart. Asako Serizawa depicts with rare acuity and nuance several generations of one far-flung family as it's buffeted by the forces of war, migration, displacement, and that ultimate crucible, time. There are no easy answers or clean resolutions in Serizawa's stories, but what you will find is the genuine stuff of human experience, rendered with precision and honesty. Inheritors is debut fiction delivered with the verve of a master." -- Ben Fountain , author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk "I was struck again and again not only by the remarkable scope and multiplicity of Inheritors but by the voices Serizawa inhabits--each is so distinct and yet wonderfully intimate. A book to be savored, slowly, overflowing with lifeblood and endurance." -- Peter Orner , author of Maggie Brown & Others "[A] dynamic debut...By showing Japan as both colonizer and colonized, Serizawa delivers an elegant, stimulating web of stories." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Elegant...An assured debut." -- Kirkus, "Ambitious...Gripping...Serizawa's fiction is convincingly rooted in the intimate, yet still provocatively collective, quandaries of her characters." -- The New York Times Book Review "Stunning and visceral...Serizawa's brave storytelling gives us more than an epic arc. She creates a narrative that is in and of itself a multidimensional space. As well, it's an homage to the surreal artistry of writers like Jorge Luis Borges -- whose voice she manages to honor with a story which is not an echo but her own capacious, original illumination." -- NPR, Morning Edition " Inheritors reveals an author of fierce intellect looking at war legacies from this angle and that, working her way into their nuances. By deconstructing the toolkit of the novel, Serizawa dodges the inevitability of a war narrative to offer a wistful hope or a melodramatic tragedy. Instead, she creates a more powerful form in which she can align the pieces to magnify each other like the lenses of a telescope. This powerful, intelligent book stands in the company of William T. Vollman and W.G. Sebald and their investigations of life during wartime or in the long shadow after. But the tone, the structure, and the territory are all Serizawa's, in a book that deserves to become a crucial pillar in the literature of war." -- Kenyon Review "These stories by Asako Serizawa are tremendous, intimate, startling and essential; they show us how the past is so often the most powerful force in what we idly call the present." -- Rivka Galchen , author of Little Labors "An extraordinary book--beautifully crafted, emotionally resonant and profoundly moving.

Synopsis
Winner of The Story Prize Spotlight Award Winner of the PEN/Open Book Award Longlisted for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize This splendid story collection is a sword through the heart. -- Ben Fountain Spanning more than 150 years, and set in multiple locations in colonial and postcolonial Asia and the United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of its characters as they grapple with the legacies of loss, imperialism, and war. Written from myriad perspectives and in a wide range of styles, each of these interconnected stories is designed to speak to the others, contesting assumptions and illuminating the complicated ways we experience, interpret, and pass on our personal and shared histories. A retired doctor, for example, is forced to confront the horrific moral consequences of his wartime actions. An elderly woman subjects herself to an interview, gradually revealing a fifty-year old murder and its shattering aftermath. And in the last days of a doomed war, a prodigal son who enlisted against his parents' wishes survives the American invasion of his island outpost, only to be asked for a sacrifice more daunting than any he imagined. Serizawa's characters walk the line between the devastating realities of war and the banal needs of everyday life as they struggle to reconcile their experiences with the changing world. A breathtaking meditation on suppressed histories and the relationship between history, memory, and storytelling, Inheritors stands in the company of Lisa Ko, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Min Jin Lee., Spanning more than 150 years, and set in multiple locations in colonial and postcolonial Asia and the United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of its characters as they grapple with the legacies of loss, imperialism, and war.

A breathtaking meditation on suppressed histories and the relationship between history, memory, and storytelling, Inheritors stands in the company of Lisa Ko, Viet Thanhn Nguyen and Min Jin Lee., "This splendid story collection is a sword through the heart."--Ben Fountain From the O. Henry Prize-winning author comes a heartbreakingly beautiful and brutal collection of interconnected stories that explores the lives of five generations of a family fragmented by the Pacific side of World War II. Spanning more than 150 years, and set in multiple locations in colonial and postcolonial Asia and the United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of its characters as they grapple with legacies of loss and displacement, identity and erasure, imperialism and war. In "Train to Harbin," winner of an O. Henry Prize and praised by Molly Antopol as "epic in its exploration of history, war, loyalty, and trauma," a retired doctor is forced to confront the moral consequences of the experiments he pioneered in his youth. In "Willow Run," ambitiously told in the form of a one-sided interview, an elderly Japanese woman volunteers her testimony regarding a fifty-year-old crime, only to be dismissed by the interviewer as a lesser victim than the enslaved "comfort women" finally receiving international attention. The prodigal son of "The Last Bulwark of the Imperial Empire" survives the onslaught of American forces overtaking his Pacific outpost only to be asked for a sacrifice more dehumanizing than any he could have imagined. These stories are designed to speak to one another, contesting assumptions and calling attention to the complicated ways in which we experience, interpret, and pass on our personal and shared histories. Serizawa's characters walk the line between the devastating realities of war and the banal needs of everyday life as they struggle to reconcile their place in the world, making Inheritors a breathtaking meditation on suppressed histories and the relationship between history, memory, and storytelling.
