The Dream of Water: A Memoir by Kyoko Mori
4.0
I find it interesting that in my Ethnic American Lit. Class we read a lot of memoirs. I’m not sure why. For me, I don’t often consider memoirs literature. I will admit that the memoirs we read are highly stylized, but I do wish we had read more fiction.
Regardless, The Dream of Water was a very good memoir. It is focused on Mori’s personal experience and her family trauma rather than doing a deep dive into her cultural background. Sometimes, I wanted to have a little more background. However, Mori’s writing is clear and concise, which is more than I can say for other memoirist I read this semester.
Recommend? Yes...
