This morning, I’m very pleased to welcome The Write Reads Blog Tour for Christopher Green’s short story collection, Takeout Sushi. In addition to this Spotlight, my post about the book will be coming along sometime today (I hope). The Tour, so check out https://twitter.com/WriteReadsTours to see other people are saying about the book, my positive remarks will join them soon. But for now, let’s learn a little bit about the book, shall we?
Book Details:
Title: Takeout Sushi by Christopher Green

Release date: May 2, 2024

About the Book:
Takeout Sushi is a collection of 17 illustrated short stories set mostly in contemporary Japan that explore feelings of belonging, displacement, and the strangeness of everyday human interaction.
In an innovative, fast-paced company, a man’s job comes under threat when a team of robots are brought in to replace the HR department. A husband’s search for shortcuts to his domestic tasks goes painfully wrong. Overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, a foreigner takes a weekend break and discovers something other than solitude in the mountains.
Marking Christopher Green’s debut adult fiction and inspired by his own experiences, these whimsical slice-of-life tales are full of heart and humour—perfect for fans of Convenience Store Woman and Before the Coffee Gets Cold
