Description
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Born after Hiroshima, the writers in this dazzling collection of short stories represent the American debut of the best contemporary Japanese fiction.

Sections include "Kitchen” by Banana Yoshimoto, "A show more Callow Fellow of Jewish Descent” by Masahiko Shimada, "On Meeting My 100 Percent Woman One Fine April Morning” by Haruki Murakami, "Swallowtails” by Shiina Mkoto, "God Is Nowhere; God Is Now Here” by Itoh Seikoh, "X-Rated Blanket” by Eimi Yamada, "Yu-Hee” by Yang Ji Lee, "On a Moonless Night by Sei Takekawa, "Living in a Maze” by Kyoji Kobayashi, "The Imitation of Leibniz” by Genichiro Takahashi, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown” by Tamio Kageyama, and "Wine” by Mariko Hayashi. show lessTags
