Green Tea to Go: Stories from Tokyo

By Leza Lowitz

Fiction. Asian American Studies. Bay area poet Leza Lowitz, famed for her recent YOGA POEMS: LINES TO UNFOLD BY and her groundbreaking anthologies of Japanese women's poetry A LONG RAINY SEASON and OTHER SIDE RIVER, now turns to fiction, in these twelve stories and a novella set in the ordinary streets of modern Tokyo. "If you've lived in Japan, this collection will awaken memories. If you haven't, you'll find yourself wanting to. Leza Lowitz' s Japan is never cliched. Her Westerners are always trying to go deeper"--Rhainnon Paine. "In these many-faceted stories, Leza Lowitz gives us a view of the world as wryly original as it is sensual and poetic. The collection is an extended meditation on the relationship between place and the interior life"--Dianne Highbridge. "Japan and its people come alive with authentic detail and a subtle, still-fresh sense of discovery"--Alison Anderson.
