International
Planet
The winter edition of MANOA: Journal Jungle Planet and Other New Stories features
new works of fiction, biography, drama and art. These selections span time and
place—a young man encounters a palm reader on a San Francisco bus; an old
woman recalls the Japanese Occupation of Malaysia; a group of Cheyenne Indians
journey to the edge of the known world and, in the title piece, a child enjoys
exotic animals on cable television as the outside world disintegrates.
All are linked by the challenge to comprehend unfamiliar perspectives—a
task insurmountable without the continual effort of imagination. As the editor’s
note says, “When [we] are thoughtfully exposed to international perspectives—particularly
through art and literature, which have the power to place us vividly in the lives
of individuals with other histories and alternative futures—we can perhaps
become truly compassionate citizens of the world.”
