Cover of Tokyo Ueno Station by Yu Miri

Such a brilliant book. Beautifully written. Even the author’s and translator’s notes are inspiring and deeply moving. Yu Miri really is one of the best human beings 🖤

Much recommended.

“To speak is to stumble, to hesitate, to detour and hit dead ends. To listen is straightforward. You can always just listen.”

A photo of a hardcover edition of Franz Kafka's diaries. It's a large book with a symbol of an eye over an oblong black rectangle. The upper left is credited to F. Kafka and in the lower right is the word diaries in his handwriting.

A photo of a paperback edition of Tokyo Ueno Station by Yu Miri. It's a colorful arrangement of symbols, with a red bench, a short blue brick wall, one yellow and one green leaf, and a blue tent. The background is a green square cutting a corner into a purple square. The green square is divided by a yellow line, somewhat like a playing field. The title is down the right side from the top and the author's name, Yu Miri, is in the lower left corner--both are set on orange rectangles.
