The Spiritual Search for a Father
Posted On
“Mysterious Dreams of the Dead” by Terry Watada (Anvil Press)
At the heart of “Mysterious Dreams of the Dead” is the spiritual search for a father who died in a plane crash north of Lake Superior when his son was 15. Mike Shintani decides in his early thirties to address the curious circumstances surrounding his father’s death; the senior Shintani’s body was never found, and wolves circled the crash site as if guarding the area.
The impetus for Mike’s search for truth is a diary he found in the basement of his home. It was obviously his father’s, but it was written in Japanese. Mike never knew his father could write Japanese. He himself could neither read nor write the language.
