Tokyo-ing!

Three interconnected novellas take the reader into the heart of contemporary Tokyo — a city of relentless work, sharp ambition, and unexpected tenderness. Eric Madeen draws on decades of life in Japan to capture the metropolis from the inside.

Moving through the worlds of academia, overwork culture, and the collisions between foreign and Japanese lives, these stories trace the small dramas and quiet longings that pulse beneath the surface of the world's most electric city.
