“Matsuda’s piercing and sometimes surreal collection (after Where the Wild Ladies Are) offers a feminist critique of women’s experiences in Japanese society. In “You Are Not What You Eat,” the narrator becomes sick early in the morning, vomiting up the previous night’s dinner and then foods she doesn’t remember eating, causing her to be “engulfed with nostalgia” for a life she didn’t live.... Matsuda shines with her distinctive imagery and focused commentary. Readers will find plenty to enjoy.”
