#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed Yasuhiko Nishizawa's The Man Who Died Seven Times (pub Pushkin Press), translated by Jesse Kirkwood (who also translated Matsumoto's Tokyo Express, which we loved).

A family murder mystery with a dash of time-loop; think Knives Out meets Groundhog Day!

GP appointment dealt with, trash & recycling sorted, replied to some emails; now time for actual day off relaxing time, with a wee book'n'beer session, get started on this month's book group reading.

Amazingly, Japanese fiction *without* cats & books on the cover! (Not a dig at Japanese fiction, but at Anglophone publishers who have decided that's what sells here)
