Bøker av Erika Tanaka

A young activist haunts her banker husband, an all-white sangha meditates on marriage and non-being, a mixed family clashes in their grief, and a subway calligrapher is "discovered." Through diverse narratives about often overlooked AAPI lives, these tales trace a vibrant "yellow" thread through the tapestry of everyday life in New York City.

A contemporary parable in NYC's East Village unfolds. This dark tale weaves an unforeseen connection between a middle-aged Japanese potter and her young Midwestern apprentice. Their unsettling journey mirrors the neighborhood's, revealing themes of gentrification and the pursuit of "authentic" creativity. Ultimately, these concepts unveil their wabi-sabi qualities in a delicate dance of beauty and decay.
