A collection of novellas about women on the wrong side of the world, by turns bleak and incisively funny. LOVE IN JAPAN draws on the author's experience as an expat in Japan to paint devastating portraits of five women grappling with a foreign culture and their own desires. From a grotty hostess club to the dark side of the Japanese indie rock scene, this is the real, unsanitized Far East. Better known as a fantasy author, Felicity Savage pulls off her first literary collection with rage and brio. "The talented Ms. Savage has won the right to pursue her own obsessions, wherever they lead her." -- New York Times
