A provocative, multileveled ``meditation'' on Emperor Hirohito's 1989 death, raising dark questions about Japan's war guilt in the context of its triumphant prosperity today. As the child of a Japanese woman and an American soldier, Field (East Asian Studies/Univ. of Chicago) tells a story of postwar Japan inextricably linked to her own. She grew up in Tokyo, in her grandmother's house, ``finally'' leaving after high school to join her father in the US. In August 1988, Field returned to Tokyo for a yearlong stay. From her grandmother's oleander-filled, walled garden, she observed a driven, repressive ``democracy'' held in a deathwatch for its emperor. This ``frail embodiment of the war,'' whose funeral becomes a ``celebration of the successes of Japanese capitalism,'' Field sees as both promoter and symbol of Japan's ``national amnesia.'' The economic miracle has come at astronomical cost: ``In the society [the Japanese] are growing into,'' she writes, ``the most significant and only reliable freedom is the freedom to buy ever more refined commodities.'' Backing into her powerful points as she shifts between personal and global issues, Field structures her narrative around the stories of three ``resisters'': a supermarket owner who burns the ``Rising Sun'' flag; a widow who sues to stop the state from making her late husband a Shinto deity; and the mayor of Nagasaki, who publicly calls the emperor responsible for the war--for the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for the Battle of Okinawa. The horror the Japanese refuse to remember is here most powerfully conveyed by eyewitness accounts of ``babies' cries...stilled'' by Japanese troops hiding from the ``bloodless'' American invasion. An intelligent, informed, deeply felt interrogation of Japan that offers a rare insider-outsider point of view while implicitly questioning America's influence on this rich but troubled country. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Towards the end of his life (he died last year), Walker invited Stephen Koppel, an assistant keeper at the British Museum, to look at his collection. Koppel was impressed. As far as the people at the prints and drawings department knew, there was no comparable modern print collection in Britain. In due course, Walker wrote to ask whether the department would like him to leave them some of his works in his will.

The Lord is thy keeper. --Ps. cxxi. 6.
詩 篇 Psalms 121:5 [hb5] 保護你的是耶和華．耶和華在你右邊蔭庇你。
[kjv] The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
[bbe] The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
「這本書的書名《My Brother's Keeper─James Joyce's Early Years》，直接源於聖經，但故事卻是反面的例證。那是聖經中頭一對兄弟：該隱和亞伯的悲劇故事，該隱因為敬拜神的事遷怒他的兄弟，把亞伯殺了，神來找該隱談話，問他弟弟哪去了，但當時該隱不但沒有悔意，還相當傲慢，他頂了一句話：「Am I my brother's keeper?」〈我豈是看守我兄弟的？〉」（昆布：布魯姆日百年─談一位被遺忘的守護者 時間：2004-06-26 http://www.ylib.com/class/talkout/TalkShow.asp?object=req&no=654））
查The Bible
創 世 紀 Genesis4:8
[hb5] 該隱與他兄弟亞伯說話、二人正在田間、該隱起來打他兄弟亞伯、把他殺了。
[kjv] And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
[bbe] And Cain said to his brother, Let us go into the field: and when they were in the field, Cain made an attack on his brother Abel and put him to death.
4:9 [hb5] 耶和華對該隱說、你兄弟亞伯在哪裏．他說、我不知道、我豈是看守我兄弟的嗎。
[kjv] And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
[bbe] And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?
4:10 [hb5] 耶和華說、你作了甚麼事呢、你兄弟的血、有聲音從地裏向我哀告。
