&#8203;Winner of the Shugoro Yamamoto Prize and Book Magazine (Hon no zasshi) Book of the Year"So We Look to the Sky&#160;arrives on American shores this month with a glittering translation from Polly Barton. Building on the wave of such recent hits as&#160;Convenience Store Woman&#160;and&#160;Breasts and Eggs, Misumi Kobo paints a prismatic and unflinching portrait of modern life, grappling with knotty issues of fertility, childbirth, abuse, poverty, and illness with an effervescent touch that never feels forced.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Review of Books, &ldquo;12 Must-Read Books of August&rdquo;&ldquo;Compulsively readable. These characters become as real as one&#39;s neighbors, and the issues they contend with are also one&#39;s own: gossip, abuse, dementia, childbirth, menopause. . . . And woven through it all, an authorial voice both mind-bending and blindingly bright, producing utterances of self-understanding so clear they shoot right through her narrators with a sense of the almost magical.&rdquo;&mdash;Katherine Forbes Riley, award-winning author of The Bobcat: A Novel&ldquo;The intertwining stories in Misumi Kubo&#39;s utterly original and enthralling novel take an unflinching look at the messy physicality of human experience. So We Look to the Sky offers a tender, troubling, and ultimately inspiring vision of the ways our lives are connected even as our struggles are our own.&rdquo;&mdash;Jean Hegland, author of Into the Forest and Still Time &ldquo;Pressingly real . . . Alive with a sense of understanding of the way things really work out there in the world. One senses a message lurking within these pages that, if Japanese society wants to heal its wounds and head in a less dysfunctional direction, it needs is to reevaluate what life really means through a deeper grasp of sex. . . . In these pages you will find the lives of all of us.&rdquo;&mdash;Japan Times&#160;/ Shukan Asahi &ldquo;A searing and prismatic portrait of the relentless pressures of ordinary life in modern Japan.&rdquo;&mdash;PEN/Heim grant awards committee &ldquo;Painting an intricate portrait of women, family, love, and friendship, So We Look to the Sky questions the nature of sexuality and indeed life itself. . . . Anzu&rsquo;s feelings as she undergoes fertility treatment, depictions of birth spilling over with life force, and the sex scenes are all written with the same passion.&rdquo;&mdash;Niigata Nipp&#333; &#160; &ldquo;Addressing matters as diverse as desire, infertility, bullying, reclusion, poverty, dementia care, and infidelity, the plot&#39;s twists and turns range widely, to be sure. And yet, despite the surfeit of action, the narrative never feels forced. Rather, there&rsquo;s a cool assurance to the prose. Instead of journalistic excess, the book relays with great realism the wails, pangs, and sighs of those whom&#160;life&rsquo;s trials and tribulations have left feeling helpless and burdened.&rdquo;&mdash;Fujin K&#333;ron &ldquo;There are no easy solutions in these stories, but they nonetheless instill in their reader a belief in the power of life.&rdquo;&mdash;Nihon Keizai Shimbun "Wonderful . . . Has both the sensuous power and the humor of a dream. . . . . Reminiscent of Han Kang&#39;s The Vegetarian."&mdash;Naomi Alderman, bestselling author of The Power, on&#160;"Mikumari," the short story that became chapter 1 of So We Look to the Sky &ldquo;At the heart of this story is a huge affirmation of birth and living. It&rsquo;s what makes it such a joy to read.&rdquo;&mdash;Author Kiyoshi Shigematsu, member of the jury for the R-18 Prize ("Stories for Women by Women") awarded to "Mikumari" &#160;
