![]() ![]() Nao wants to “drop out of time” so does her father, a computer programmer who spent 10 years in California’s Silicon Valley before the dot-com bust apparently sent the family back to Tokyo and subjected Nao to vicious bullying at school. The book contains 16-year-old Nao’s diary, bound within the covers of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time-and that’s no accident, since both funny, grieving Nao and blocked, homesick Ruth are obsessed with time: how it passes, how we live in it. On the beach of an island off British Columbia’s coast, Ruth finds a Hello Kitty lunchbox containing a stack of letters and a red book. Ozeki’s magnificent third novel ( All Over Creation, 2003, etc.) brings together a Japanese girl’s diary and a transplanted American novelist to meditate on everything from bullying to the nature of conscience and the meaning of life. ![]() ![]() ![]() No matter how many times the tale of Dracula is adapted, Coppola’s will always be remembered.
