In This Autobiography, Richard E. Kim Paints Seven Vivid Scenes From A Boyhood And Early Adolescence In Korea At The Height Of The Japanese Occupation During Wwii, 1932 To 1945.

Examining The Intersections Of Japanese And Korean History That Influenced Koreajapan Relations At The Time, Lost Names Is At Once A Loving Memory Of Family, An Ethnography Of Zainichi Koreans In 1930S Japan, And A Vivid Portrayal Of Human Spirit In A Time Of Suffering And Survival.
