In The Affinity of the Eye: Writing Nikkei in Peru, Ignacio López-Calvo rises above the political emergence of the Fujimori phenomenon and uses politics and literature to provide one of the first comprehensive looks at how the Japanese assimilated and inserted themselves into Peruvian culture. Through contemporary writers’ testimonies, essays, fiction, and poetry, López-Calvo constructs an account of the cultural formation of Japanese migrant communities. With deftly sensitive interviews and comments, he portrays the difficulties of being a Japanese Peruvian. Despite a few notable examples, Asian Peruvians have been excluded from a sense of belonging or national identity in Peru, which provides López-Calvo with the opportunity to record what the community says about their own cultural production. In so doing, López-Calvo challenges fixed notions of Japanese Peruvian identity. The Affinity of the Eye scrutinizes authors such as José Watanabe, Fernando Iwasaki, Augusto Higa, Doris Moromisato, and Carlos Yushimito, discussing their literature and their connections to the past, present, and future. Whether these authors push against or accept what it means to be Japanese Peruvians, they enrich the images and feelings of that experience. Through a close reading of literary and cultural productions, López-Calvo’s analysis challenges and reframes the parameters of being Nikkei in Peru. Covering both Japanese issues in Peru and Peruvian issues in Japan, the book is more than a compendium of stories, characters, and titles. It proves the fluid, enriching, and ongoing relationship that exists between Peru and Japan.

La Pepona el jardin de las mariposas no es una novela expresamente dirigida a los homosexuales, es una novela abierta que invita a la reflexión y a la comprensión. Es un trozo mas de la historia reciente, escrito en un lenguaje coloquial y a veces tabernario, para que llegue a todos los publicos, y les haga pensar honradamente sobre el calvario vivido por estas personas, solo por ser de la "acera de enfrente. Es una novela humana y profunda. Aleccionadora y reflexiva. Desenfadada y humorística. Basada en personas y hechos reales con ligeros tapices de ficción como sutiles pinceladas en una cruda realidad, y he aqui donde se basa "La Pepona" en la profundidad humana de un tema tabú y manoseado hasta la saciedad, sin mas literatura rebuscada que la de sus personajes extraidos de la misma vida, espejo retrovisor de un ayer que sucedio de gentes normales que sufrieron en sus carnes y en su alma el desprecio y la humillación de una sociedad intolerante y ecumenica.
