The first novel to appear in English by award-winning author Hiromi Ito explores the absurdities, complexities, and challenges experienced by a woman caring for her two families: her husband and daughters in California and her aging parents in Japan. As the narrator shuttles back and forth between these two starkly different cultures, she creates a powerful and entertaining narrative about what it means to live and die in a globalized society.

The Thorn Puller | Hiromi Ito

pick

Hiromo Ito, a Japanese writer, is struggling to care for aging parents in Japan while also tending to a partner and kids in California. Ito contemplates family responsibilities, aging & dying in two different cultures. It blends autofiction with Japanese folklore & poetry as well as Buddhist & animist spirituality. The result is an experimental novel that's both thought-provoking and moving. #netgalley
