Shiyoko left the Japanese American Concentration Camps a long time ago, but a part of her stays in the desert. With questions from a curious grandson, Shiyoko's world becomes split into dueling realities of truth, fiction, anime, and realism. Past and present become one landscape in this epic as enemies are revealed, companions are found, trauma is unpacked, and what was only thought becomes (un)spoken word. A poetic impression from the grandchild of the imprisoned, Supposed Home brings a new piece of the puzzle that is the Japanese American experience.
