“Kanai has an ephemeral sensuality that offsets and compliments her 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… Ihighly recommended them and look forward to more.” — Todd Shimoda, Asian Review of Books“Realities shift and are at once dreamlikeand tangible. The range of subject matter and register is dazzling.” — Steve Finbow, The Japan Times
