“An astonishment, by turns playful and profound” --Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
“MONKEY is full of deep, funny, wild, scary, fabulous, moving, surprising, brilliant work.” --Laird Hunt, author of Neverhome
“A sampler of Japanese literature in translation that gives you tastes of varied, sumptuous flavors.” --Eric Margolis, Tokyo Weekender
