Biographical Sketches

Alfred R. Young

Warren R. Stewart, Jr.

Warren R. Stewart, Jr., was not only a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II, he was a diarist. To step into his diaries is to be crushed by the oppression of his circumstances. The very cadence and grayness of his daily life is palpable in the monotony of what he ate, what he wrote about, and what is palpable in his silence. Faced with a starvation diet, he even kept a diary of the foods he imagined, and sought escape by creating recipes for them. He also kept a wonderfully detailed roster listing prisoners in the camp.
