Reviews
" Hiroshima Bugi is a dance that exposes the vacillation necessary for the preservation of the vital lies of war and capitalism. Its central rhythm is a reminder of our obligation to live lives of peace and reconciliation, burdens that humanity seems to find impossible. At the novel's best it reminds us of Kurt Vonnegut's dark but life-affirming Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five ."-Dex Westrum, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "Mapping the realms that matter to transformations of consciousness is one order of business; evoking transformative visionary presence is another. Transpersonal explorations of issues of identity and peace require not just orientation but also evocation. There is no better introduction to these issues than the challenges that Gerald Vizenor''s latest fiction, Hiroshima Bugi , poses to transpersonal thinking."- Jurgen W. Kremer, ReVision, "Mapping the realms that matter to transformations of consciousness is one order of business; evoking transformative visionary presence is another. Transpersonal explorations of issues of identity and peace require not just orientation but also evocation. There is no better introduction to these issues than the challenges that Gerald Vizenor''s latest fiction, Hiroshima Bugi, poses to transpersonal thinking."-Jurgen W. Kremer, ReVision, " Hiroshima Bugi is a very effective examination of atomic destruction, and how the generations afterwards have dealt with it. It is also a penetrating examination of Japanese culture, tying together in rather remarkable fashion traditional and outside influences: from kabuki to tattooing to the film, Hiroshima mon Amour , Vizenor utilizes the familiar (and explains what is not) and creates a work that is truly insightful."- The Complete Review, "Vizenor has a reputation for taking chances with his novels, for pushing the form in new directions. He outdoes himself in his latest. . . . Readers who have shared other adventures with Vizenor will not be disappointed."- Library Journal, "Vizenor is at full speed in Hiroshima Bugi . This book is a natural dance of concepts. Vizenor does for Native literature what James Joyce does for Irish literature in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake ."-Diane Glancy, author of Designs of the Night Sky, "Hiroshima Bugi is a dance that exposes the vacillation necessary for the preservation of the vital lies of war and capitalism.

In this requiem for the atomic age's forgotten victims, Vizenor offers us another sophisticated, alternately sensitive and ironic meditation on the importance of cross-fertilization and remembrance."--Thomas Hove, Review of Contemporary Fiction " Hiroshima Bugi is a very effective examination of atomic destruction, and how the generations afterwards have dealt with it.
