A Good Place to Leave a Lover

by Nicolas Gattig

In a mysterious Tokyo lounge, an American pianist wonders if a room in the back allows people to disappear. A Japanese punker in San Francisco falls in love with a moody drum robot. An American in Tokyo is planning to leave her Japanese lover, when a national tragedy strikes. Set in Tokyo and San Francisco, the ten stories in this collection are postcards from cultural fault lines. A medley of voices and fresh takes on intercultural love, these intimately detailed portraits show Japanese and American characters face romantic and cultural pitfalls, as well as the histories they share. A multiple immigrant himself, Gattig writes with a light witty touch and a sprinkling of magical realism, showing new paths for nations to coexist.
