This felt like the literary equivalent of the bowl of oden I could really use right now, thank you for sharing.

Nice!

I'm currently finishing "Out" by Natsuo Kirino and it has been fantastic, thanks for the recommendation. I'm also planning on going to Japan for the first time in August (have been saving for years) so I hope to wind up in a Japanese noodles bar having a phone-mediated conversation, soon.

Cheers

Last few years August has been unbearably hot. Just FYI. October/April is better if you can.

Indeed the literary equivalent of a comforting bowl of oden. Beautiful, thank you.

Wishing you a Merry Xmas from Sendagaya! I landed yesterday from NYC and am looking forward to a traditional bucket of fried chicken followed by Christmas cake tonight. Tokyo’s one of my favorite places on Earth, really enjoy your reflections on life here.
