Reviews / Votes
"Kanai has an ephemeral sensuality that offsets and complimentsher modulated voices, who guide you through mini epics in this crisp,
cool collection." - Bret McCabe, Baltimore City Paper
"Kanai's
stories remind me of Italo Calvino or Jorge Luis Borges, with their
stylistically vague flatness yet strong character-driven underpinnings... I
highly recommended them and look forward to more." - Todd Shimoda,
Asian Review of Books
"Realities shift and are at once dreamlike
and tangible. The range of subject matter and register is dazzling." - Steve Finbow, The Japan Times
