The Coat That Covers Him

Meer over het boek

Set primarily in Japan, this collection features six stories and one novel that explore the complexities of human experience through interconnected plots. Characters grapple with incomprehensible events, such as a man whose lost key triggers unforeseen consequences, and a small girl confronting a possibly innocent fugitive. Themes of identity and transformation are woven throughout, highlighted by a resurrected boy seeking revenge and Sidney Levin's fraught reunion with a former lover, complicated by her daughter. Each narrative reveals the artful masks people wear.
