"Low-caliber haiku written by a Japanese man living in Los Angeles (why'd they even hire him?)"

The haiku:

"No matter the day / Here by my side / there is tea"

- Ohtani Shohei, 31, Los Angeles, CA

I finished 斜め屋敷の犯罪 by Soji Shimada (島田荘司), from the Kiyoshi Mitarai series. It was a really great locked-room mystery in a mansion with a fascinating architecture.

I do prefer murder stories that rely on psychology and motive rather than puzzles and locked-room mysteries, but I enjoyed this one very much. Bonus point for the commentary by Yukito Ayatsuji!

Hello! I've been on various Mastodon instances in the past, but since I've just moved to another, I guess it's time for a new #introduction to let everyone know what I'm about.

I'm a Japanese to English translator based in Tokyo and lover of books. I mostly post about life in Japan, stuff I'm reading, and these days, coming to terms with chronic illness and disability. If that's something you're interesting in, feel free to follow! I'm sure we can get along :)

One of my favorite Japanese books! Highly recommend 🇯🇵✨
