About this audiobook
The Reluctant Terrorist: In Search Of The Jizo is set in Twentieth Century Hong Kong and Japan, with flashbacks to the Second World War. A Japanese businessman takes a deliberately modest revenge against another Japanese family which damaged his own family during the Second World War. His surprising act of terrorism is a paradoxical gesture for peace.
We meet again characters from Kavon's first novel, The Monkey in me: Confusion, Love and Hope under a Chinese Sky (2009).
Caleb Kavon was raised in Hong Kong and the Philippines and has the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Third World History. He has received advanced specialized training, including in management. A former US army officer deployed in Central and South America, Kavon lived and worked in China from 1994 up to several years ago. He has travelled the world and remains an avid student of all things. He is fluent in Chinese and Spanish. At the time of writing "The Reluctant Terrorist" he was living in Chengdu, China, eagerly awaiting the positive changes on our planet which he knew to be possible. His first novel, The Monkey in Me: Confusion, Love and Hope under a Chinese Sky (Proverse Hong Kong, 2009) is dedicated, "To the Chinese people, who have taught me so much and given me such kindness from my youth to the present day".
