I'm nervous about this...

Now, Diary of a Void is one of my favorite Japanese books in translation. I actually think about that book pretty often. It's a strange and darkly funny book.

Their favorite book is The Hobbit, whereas mine is Frankenstein.

That tiny little short story collection all set within one town. I love that little book.

I read that book I think the year it came out back in 2016 and it set me on a journey to literally where I am and what I'm doing right now. I owe a lot to Hiomikawakami and Strange Weather in Tokyo sits in my heart.
