Instructions for the Living
"Mariko Nagai creates a richly evocative voice that is both immediate and reflective." - James Ragan "Starkly recounted with a clear, cold tone, these stories carry the weight of a survivor bearing witness." - Publishers Weekly "Nagai has a voice and vision to be reckoned with.... These stories will change you, change what you know, change how to imagine the lives of people around you." - Jonis Agee, Judge, G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction
