This isn't intrinsically related to Mona in the Promised Land, but the dialogue between Mona and Sherman about his Japanese culture, especially that scene where Mona's mother briefly mentions WWII, reminded me of a piece I recently discovered:
A threnody is a song or poem of mourning, often composed in memory of a specific individual or group of individuals. This piece in particular was written to commemorate the suffering of the victims of the Hiroshima bombing. It may sound rather bizarre at first, but I feel that it very strongly portrays the horror of the bombing at Hiroshima.
