The Cape and Other Stories From The Japanese Ghetto

The Cape and Other Stories From The Japanese Ghetto is a novel I picked up either from San Francisco or Tokyo (I genuinely don't remember) and for some reason left on the 'to be read' shelf - this is unusual because I have a fondness for Japanese literature in English. Anyway I gave it a try because it fit my purse as a back up book.

And it turned out to be a great read. As usual I'm sucked in. The prose in this one is interesting because it sometimes went in a stream of consciousness type but not always and the chronology is not always linear. I loved it. Also the characters are labourers and their actions are rough and dramatic especially in the last story, Red Hair.
