Book Description
“An extraordinary and highly original crime novel” (New York Times Book Review) that plunges us into post–World War II Occupied Japan in a Rashomon–like retelling of a mass poisoning (based on an actual event), its aftermath, and the hidden wartime atrocities that led to the crime. “Hugely daring, utterly irresistible, deeply serious and unlike anything I have ever read.”—New York Times Book Review On January 26, 1948, a man identifying himself as a public health official arrives at a bank in Tokyo. There has been an outbreak of dysentery in the neighborhood, he explains, and he has been assigned by Occupation authorities to treat everyone who might have been exposed to the disease. Soon after drinking the medicine he administers, twelve employees are dead, four are unconscious, and the “official” has fled.... Twelve voices tell the story of the murder from different perspectives. One of the victims speaks, for all the victims, from the grave. We read the increasingly mad notes of one of the case detectives, the desperate letters of an American occupier, the testimony of a traumatized survivor. We meet a journalist, a gangster-turned-businessman, an “occult detective,” a Soviet soldier, a well-known painter. Each voice enlarges and deepens the portrait of a city and a people making their way out of a war-induced hell. Occupied City immerses us in an extreme time and place with a brilliantly idiosyncratic, expressionistic, mesmerizing narrative. It is a stunningly audacious work of fiction from a singular writer.

Book Description
A Gemstone Book (Trade Paperback) - 194 pages *** What comes of Gardening without Gloves? Read each of the twelve stories in this volume to find answers that you wouldn't expect. On one level Memmott's book is an excursion into the psychology of love, while on another level it voices the despair of love and relationships misunderstood. One story shows this weathered visage and another one that. The characters, in their own dangerous and diametrical ways, are overcome by the elusive, and sometimes disillusioning, expectations of love. Flawed by misapprehension, they are often left bereaved, puzzling only the ambiguities of love, or what they thought was love, and how it slipped away. *** ""Excellent...storytelling executed with taste and style."" - Writer's Digest

Book Description
A shocking, unflinching and utterly gripping story of those affected by state oppression in Burma and the physical, emotional and moral consequences for both ordinary Burmese and those from the West attempting to provide aid. Born as the result of a state-sponsored act of violence, Lynch and Leer are the strange, wordless twin sons of Burmese villagers Je Lin and Verlaine. As they and the rest of their community, hiding in the jungle, attempt to survive the increasingly barbaric attacks by government soldiers, their fates are inextricably linked to those of Western NGO workers and lovers, Etaine and Tuvol. Toni Davidson weaves together multiple perspectives to create an extraordinary work of fiction, in turns tragic, horrific, moving and, above all, utterly compelling from first page to last.
