The Fox and Dr. Shimamura (Paperback, 2019, New Directions) 3 stars

Review of 'The Fox and Dr. Shimamura' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I read this for the August Japanese Book Club at the Argo Bookshop. This was an interesting story about a doctor sent abroad after Japan opened itself up to the world. It was an odd tale about aging, folklore, and death. It’ll be worth a reread in the future to look for all the little nuggets left by the multiple unreliable narrators.
