by Allen Say
"I think I know my grandfather now. I miss him very much." (pg.32)
As with his mother's childhood in [b:Tea with Milk|437923|Tea with Milk|Allen Say|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348273159l/437923._SX50_.jpg|844179], Allen Say brings to life his grandfather's adventures in Japan and America at the turn of the century in Grandfather's Journey.
Say is a true artist. His paintings are exquisite. His storytelling is straightforward, and some might claim too direct. I agree, and disagree. His prose is direct; in the weight of his compositions, the vivid colors, the striking "demand and offer" of the subjects...there is great emotion. It's the welling affection you get looking through a family photo album. It's the sentimental ache for history of brethren and motherland. Only an exceptional artist could achieve such feeling in thirty-two pages.
