When the Emperor Was Divine, the debut novel by Julie Otsuka, has been selected for this year's community-wide reading and discussion project, "One Book, One Boulder." Otsuka will visit Boulder during the month-long program in October.

Otsuka uses a single family to evoke the experience of Japanese Americans during World War II. Her 144-page book paints a portrait of Japanese internment camps with spare, haunting prose.

"One Book, One Boulder" is a community-wide event intended to encourage Boulder residents to read a selected book and participate in discussions, a meeting with the author, and other related programs centered around the chosen book.
