A Novel
To Endure
Postwar Japan. A mother and a daughter, duty and defiance, and the slow cost of living by rules no one wrote down.
A quiet book, but not a soft one. The violence here is cultural: the suffocation of two women under the weight of unwritten codes, and the private rebellion it takes just to survive them.
Stories, Essays & Verse
The Blue Tattoo
Living, loving, fighting, crying, dying. Hunger, wonder, beauty, bliss. Everything an old man has witnessed, told through everyday mouths.
From a moose in a meadow to a blue dragon in a garden, from Buchenwald to a Normandy beach, from Lenny Bruce to Dave Brubeck. If you get choked up at a little girl with shrapnel in her belly, or mad as hell at a Klansman in a white robe — this one is for you. It is for those that this book was written.
