  Interview | Ruth Ozeki
When Ruth Ozeki was doing research for her first novel -- My Year of Meats published in 1998 -- she didn't realize she was opening a door so wide, she'd want to pull other, future novels through it.
While Ozeki's latest book, All Over Creation, is a very different sort of tale, it also thrusts into "the way that agriculture is all about the sort of imposition of human will on the land; on nature.
Ozeki is a filmmaker whose 1994 Body of Correspondence won the New Visions Award at the San Francisco Film Festival and was aired on PBS.

 Novelist and filmmaker Ruth Ozeki succeeds in her art by keeping to the margins
Ozeki's best-known work explores issues of what she calls "hybridity," the juxtapositions of different races, cultures and customs—which often coexist in a single setting or character—which she catalogs with the precise eye of an anthropologist.
Ozeki's story, which is set in New Haven, Conn., and told from the perspective of the son of an anthropologist and a Japanese mother, is "a little bit taking the piss out of the academy … in the most respectful way," Ozeki said.
As her residency neared its end, Ozeki was effusive over the intellectual abundance of the university and the intelligent company of its students, who are "brimming with the future." Stanford is "magical," she said.

 All Over Creation by Ruth Ozeki, reviews, links and opinions, book club reading suggestions
Ozeki's first book My Year of Meat became a popular 'book club' read, which delved into the controversial issue of the use of hormones in the meat industry.
Ozeki seems to have done extensive research into both sides of the genetic engineering issue and by reading this book you do find yourself learning and debating along with the characters.
Obviously it is fiction, it isn't attempting to be an academic treatise on the GE debate.

The story's conclusion takes some convenient outs, but the ride to the end is touching and terrific, thanks to Ozeki's spare but elegant prose and, especially, her kaleidoscopic cast.
Once again, I was startled at how poetically she wove together a truly human story with a profound analysis of our carnivorous consumerist culture, and the side effects of this for farmers, children, etc. The profundity of her first novel rang true in her second.
Ozeki realistically portrays the complexity of female friendship.

 Penguin Reading Guides | My Year of Meats | Ruth Ozeki
Ruth Ozeki paints a world where wives are "meat made manifest," where, according to the Beef-Ex hierarchy of meats, "pork is possible but beef is best," and with this type of metaphorical play, she deftly yet relentlessly teases out our own preconceptions and misconceptions about culture, gender, and race.
In My Year of Meats, Ruth Ozeki does not presume to have the answer to this question, nor does she attempt to shepherd readers through the rough terrain of love and happiness at the cusp of the millennium.
Ruth Ozeki was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, by an American father and a Japanese mother, both of whom taught at Yale University.

Naturally, the emphasis is on meat, and Ozeki has fun with out-there recipes such as rump roast in coke and beef fudge; but as Jane becomes more familiar with her subject, she becomes increasingly aware of the beef industry's widespread practice of using synthetic estrogens on their cattle and determines to sabotage the program.
Ozeki does a masterful job making a parody of the Japanese fascination with stereotypical American life.
Ozeki writes with a very authentic voice and everything flowed, even if the story involved switching from the U.S. and Japan and vice versa.

 Tochiazuma Daisuke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In January 2002, Tochiazuma was made Ozeki for the first time, and instantly won the tournament – exactly 30 years after his father's own championship.
He is the only wrestler who has succeeded in doing so since the introduction of the current rules on Ozeki promotions and demotions, in 1969.
His most recent comeback as an Ozeki in 2005 was especially spectacular, as even his own stable had suggested that the scapula injury he suffered in November 2004 could mean the end of his career.

 Satya May 03: Interview with Ruth Ozeki
Ruth Ozeki made a big splash in 1998 with her first novel, My Year of Meats, a humorous exploration of the meat industry and the great American obsession—and growing Japanese fascination with—beef [see review in Satya, September 1998].
Four years later, Ozeki presents us with All Over Creation (Viking Press), a playful romp through such heavy issues as the diminishing of American family farms and their conflicts with genetically engineered crops; and the clashes between the biotech industry’s PR machines and the activist subculture trying to counter their slick promotional campaigns.
All this is cleverly done through the prism of a dysfunctional inter-racial family on a potato farm in Idaho.

Yumi, or Yummy as she is called, is the daughter of Lloyd Fuller and his Japanese War-Bride Momoko, who settled in Idaho after the war growing potatoes and other crops to earn their living.
Although the main themes about the environment are not typically what draws me to good fiction, I found that Ruth Ozeki did a great job with creating characters and situations that felt realistic to me. She successfully created a series of subplots that all fit together and fell into place quite logically.
Ozeki tells a great story but explores important topics as well...without ever swamping the story.

Ozeki returned to New York and began a film career as an art director for low-budget horror movies, making sets and props for films with names like Robot Holocaust, Mutant Hunt, Breeders, and Necropolis.
During an interview at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, a journalist remarked, "So I suppose you've always dreamed of becoming a filmmaker?" to which Ozeki replied, "No, I've always dreamed of becoming a novelist." That year, dead broke like her hero Jane, she started writing My Year of Meats.
Ozeki says that she "was testing a hunch that even in literature, point of view, as we traditionally experience it, has been turned on its ear by MTV, editing, and multiple camera angles." She is very interested in the cross-over between documentary and fiction, paralleling the subjective/objective shifts in voice that occur in her novel.
