No-No Boy
''No-No Boy'' is a 1957 novel, the only novel published by Japanese American writer John Okada. Set in Seattle, Washington in 1946 and written in the voice of an omniscient narrator who frequently blends into the voice of the protagonist, it is about one Japanese American in the aftermath of the incarceration during World War II.
==Plot==
Ichiro Yamada, a former undergraduate at the University of Washington, returns home after two years in internment camp and two years in federal prison to a Japanese American neighborhood of Seattle, where he wrestles with finding his place in society in the face of conflict with his parents and suffering occasional ostracism from his own community. The ostracism is a result of his refusal to join the United States armed forces. During the war, the government extended the offer to enlist to young male internees ''en masse''. Few of them refused, and those who did were despised by many in the Japanese American community, who bestowed on them the name "no-no boys". Yamada experiences inner turmoil as he tries to identify why things happened the way they did, why people hate one another, and why he made the choice he made.
