End of the Moment We Had (Japanese Novellas)

"So richly layered and strangely beguiling that we are left craving more. . . Samuel Malissa's translation has fizz and verve, and each slangy meditation or exchange rings true. . . The stories are at their best -- and their most baffling -- when Okada topples our expectations and proceeds by way of surprise steps and wrong turns." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Nothing short of superb... This book gives me hope for the future of Japanese literature... there is power in the flow of this writer's prose." - Kenzaburo Oe, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
