Kuroshio: The Blood of Foxes | Book Launch | Nov 27 | Vancouver
Nothing good comes from foxes...They never forgive if you cross them, and they're always plotting.
Foxy ... lady? The fox, that master of connotation, has an extremely rich and diverse history in mythology and literature, turning up in fables, folklore, cautionary tales and (ahem) sexy rock'n' roll songs.
Toronto poet, playwright, editor, composer and novelist Terry Watada explores this cunning archetype in his latest book, KUROSHIO: THE BLOOD OF FOXES, just out with Arsenal Pulp Press.
The story concerns Yoshiko Miyamoto, a mail-order bride who finds herself beset by domestic trouble and mixed up with organized crime in Vancouver, circa 1920. The kuroshio (or "black current") of the title is the world's second largest ocean current. Kuroshio also refers to the waves that brought Japanese immigrants to North American shores.
