SUMMARY:Seasons of Stories Book Club May Meeting
DESCRIPTION:MAY 2026 BOOK SELECTION\n\nHeaven\nby: Mieko Kawakami\n  \n \nWith profound tenderness and sensitivity\, Japanese literary superstar Mieko Kawakami turns her unique gaze onto the causes and effects of violence. Raw but revelatory\, this novel stands as a dazzling confirmation of Kawakami’s standing as one of her country’s most insightful and compelling novelists. \nIn Heaven\, a shy high-school student is subjected to bullying from his classmates and the only person capable of understanding his ordeal is a young classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. Each finds in the other a unique sensibility capable of offering not only solace but also a fresh perspective on their predicaments. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nORDER THE BOOK HERE\n  \nSeasons of Stories is a new book club at Shinzen Garden that invites readers to gather in the natural setting of the garden to explore literature inspired by Japanese culture and explore books from Japanese American authors.  We will be diving into a thoughtfully selected book each month and enjoy meaningful conversations surrounded by the beauty of the garden. All are welcome—bring your curiosity and love for stories! \nJoin our online club by scanning the QR Code\n \n
