The Kafeteria in the Evening and a Pool in the Rain by Yoko Agawa

This story was published in two thousand four here, but i believe in the early nineties in japan at a time. It is like a painting, and it's quiet on the surface, but very dense within. We'll talk some more after the story. And now here's madeline tien reading the kafeteria in the evening. And a pool in the rain by yoko agawa, which was translated from the japanese by stephen snyder.
