Liberation

by Shogo Onoe

True liberation means freeing yourself. As the cover for the book L IBERATION implies, freedom sometimes takes the form of leaving yourself open to all kinds of new experiences.
This autobiographical work is the story of how Japanese author Shogo Onoe was sent to Mexico by destiny, there to begin a new chapter in a journey of self-introspection. He writes of the three good Mexican friends he treasures, Gerardo, Ramon and Jorge, who all lent him a great deal of support and belief to his efforts to write and reach deep levels of expression. How did he find his true self in a faraway land?
L IBERATION also opens a door for others seeking the meaning of life. Sometimes fate plays a role that can change our life forever, but only if we are liberated enough to take a chance.

About the author

Shogo Onoe always felt like a stranger in his homeland of Japan. As a creative soul and a passionate autodidact – having taught himself for most of his childhood – he’s a firm believer in the value of self-taught learning. Pursuing his dreams of being an artist and writer, Shogo draws his inspiration from great authors including the works of Henry Miller and Knut Hamsun. He has a love of travel and adventure, having visited Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Hungary, and much of Europe in his twenties through his early thirties. Shogo’s wanderings drove him to forge his own path through life, one where he dedicates his time to writing, being an artist, and staying true to himself.
