The Mad Kyoto Shoe Swapper Review
The Mad Kyoto Shoe Swapper & Other Short Stories By Rebecca Otowa Hardcover: 160 pages Publisher: Tuttle Publishing (March 24, 2020) ISBN-10: 4805315512 There are 13 stories in Rebecca Otowa’s book, most of which are surprisingly dark, with disappearances and deaths both being a common theme. The longest story in the collection is ‘A Year of Coffee and Cake’, a tale of a suspected murder shrouded in secrecy, while the shortest is ‘Showa Girl’, which paints the precarious position of a girl ending up marrying a POW back from Siberia after World War II.

From being expected to cook and clean daily to bearing children, women carry a burden that Japanese men simply can ignore, and that sparks the author’s frustration and anger. The ‘Watch Again’ chapter symbolizes this more than any other story. It starts when a wife coming home from work sees her husband, who currently lives elsewhere, watching wedding videos over and over. The story concludes at a balcony, with only a glass window separating the two. The initial split began because of the heartless attitude shown by the husband. The book also […]
