Tokyo-ing!: Three Novellas

By Eric Madeen

Tokyo-ing!

is an apt title for this trio of tales that chime with anyone even slightly interested in Asia's most dynamic metropolis and its glazing of layers - be they cultural, sexual ... or taking-wing exuberant.

About Face - An American professor is trophy hunted by a wily student who then boasts of her conquest, sparking a full-blown scandal. Brought to heel in tradition, he fights for his dignity.
Sobering Love - A Japanese career woman is obligated to join after-work drinking sessions with her colleagues, leading to alcohol addiction and deteriorating health. There seems to be no way out, until she meets Frank, a high-octane executive ...
Fire Horse - A disillusioned expat musters the courage to break out of an unhappy marriage, then searches for love on Tokyo's electrifying singles circuit. Can he beat the odds and find a soulmate born under the right star?
