The End Of The Moment We Had – Toshiki Okada

Description

In two stunning tales by novelist-playwright Toshiki Okada, characters stagger and thrash, bound by a generational hunger for human connection. On the eve of the Iraq War a couple find unexpected deliverance – fleeting and anonymous – at a love hotel. And wheels spin as a woman aches for something more from her husband, even as she knows she has enough.

Snapshots of moments high and low, these stories introduce us to an unsettlingly honest voice in contemporary Japanese fiction.
