Polite Lies: On Being a Woman Caught Between Cultures by Kyoko Mori
Author Kyoko Mori grew up in Japan and moved to the US in her twenties. Using her childhood memories from Japan and her experiences living in America, Mori explores a variety of topics (language, family, home) and gives us an opportunity to talk about living in and understanding another culture.
Starting the week of February 15, I'll be writing about Polite Lies (one chapter per week) here on the Stories of Belonging blog. Guest blogger and spouses&partners@mit member, Miwako Yoshimizu, will also be posting regularly.
We'll discuss Mori's memoir together and share our thoughts about crossing cultures, personal history, language, memories, and other topics. Please read long with us and join the conversation online.
