The Thorn Puller
Hiromi ItoJeffrey Angles"The Thorn Puller is a masterpiece. Ito writes with the dark humor of someone who knows how to laugh at herself. Nevertheless, she is first and foremost a poet. A poet’s lyricism shines in her novel—in English, thanks to Angles’s deft translation." https://t.co/0Xkk2OwG4K

Kafka on the Shore
Haruki MurakamiJeffrey Angles""'The Thorn Puller' should go down not just as one of the best Japanese novels in translation of this year, but of recent years; in my opinion, it is the best work of Japanese fiction in English since Haruki Murakami’s 2005 novel 'Kafka on the Shore.'" https://t.co/PU8U9xIad5
