The Pavilion of the December Moon

By Philip D Wetjen

Young American writer Emmett Goodwin attempts to bridge the vast gulf between the Chinese and Japanese people regarding the events that occurred in China during the second world war. With a focus on the Nanjing massacre, he embarks on a journey to learn all he can about the horrors of December 1937 before they begin to fade from collective memory.

His journey reflects not so much a hope for acknowledgement and atonement, nor even a wish for either. But rather a yearning for mutual recognition of the events that occurred, and that the act of recognition might provide a gateway to eventual atonement.
