pickFive young people. One Tokyo apartment. A story in which nothing very much happens yet is a fascinating read as the different sections reveal more from each character‘s POV. Not as weird as other recent reads (I'm looking at you, Earthlings) but it has that sense of alienation and detachment that seems to haunt a lot of Japanese fiction I've read.
pickFinally I found a japanese writer that I love!

Recent #bookhaul from a local foreign language bookstore having a summer sale here in Tokyo. Nakano Thrift wasn't on sale but is #signed woo! 😍 looking forward to reading some comfort books as well as discovering a couple Japanese authors. Plus a punny, artsy French book for babe 🎨🐺#mommyreads #babyreads
@Desha have you heard of this author?? It caught my eye at the bookstore, like saying "pick me! pick me!" and I thought it might be a worthwhile read, especially when I flipped through it and noticed that the story seems to be told from the perspective of each of the characters which is something I really like. Also "Japan's Stieg Larsson"?? That's worth looking in to ????

so-soThis is a difficult book to describe. It's deeply complex with slow, meticulous prose about life in a big city & how you can never truly know everything about a person. One one hand it's exceptionally thought-provoking but on another it's severely paced & slightly anti-climactic. While it works for this book, it's not something everyone can pick up and enjoy, and not something that'll work for other books. #diversereads #diversebooks #japaneselit
Book #2 in the #DiversityDecBingo! So far this is REALLY intriguing. I'm excited to see how the individual lives of all the characters will connect. I have a feeling all hell will break loose as I progress onwards! 😍😆😲

I promise this will be my last Cubs post. But I wanted to share. 5 million people at the parade, & this pic made it on the news! That's me on the bottom left, looking dorky.

I received this as a bday gift a couple weeks ago, and I'm SO EXCITED to read this. It's at the top of my Turkey TBR. I'm a whore for Japanese lit. and this sounds like it's totally gonna blow my mind!!
