Fiction. Cultural Writing. UNFINISHED MESSAGE includes fifteen stories, a novella, correspondence, and an interview with Toshio Mori. Some of this material has never before been published. Toshio Mori's well-crafted, humorous, wise tales celebrate the Japanese American community he knew so well and reach beyond it to describe the essential human condition. As William Saroyan, who championed his work, once wrote: [Toshio Mori] can see through the material image to the real thing; through a human being to the strange, comical, melancholy truth that changes a fool to a great solemn hero. With the Eye he has also the Heart. The fine heart of a true writer.
