“A mesmerizing, sophisticated portrait of an artist coming into his own power.”

Maureen N. McLane, author of My Poets and Some Say
“A spare, stunning, elegiac gem of a book. Milena Michiko Flašar writes with a poet’s clarity of language and vision, probing deeply below the surfaces of familiar Japanese stereotypes … to tell a compassionate and insightful story of dysfunction, despair and friendship.”
Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being
