Book Club: SCATTERED ALL OVER THE EARTH (Thurs, 6/5)
Book cover courtesy of New Directions.
Date: Thursday, June 5, 2025
Time: 7:00-8:30 pm EST
Details: For our next virtual discussion, we'll be reading Scattered All Over the Earth, a mind-expanding, cheerfully dystopian novel from Yoko Tawada, winner of the 2018 National Book Award. This "magnificently strange" work, the first novel in a trilogy, is set in a not-too-distant future where Japan – along with many other countries – has vanished from the face of the earth.

About JETAANY Book Club
The JETAANY Book Club is open to anyone with an interest in Japan and a love of reading. Past selections have included Japanese classics, contemporary fiction, non-fiction, YA and graphic novels, from Japanese, Japanese American and non-Japanese authors. The common thread is JAPAN! Please join us for a casual, nonjudgmental discussion with JET alum and friends. While we used meet in person over pizza, we'll be gathering virtually for the time being. Feel free to eat and drink during the meeting. Joining late is OK, too!
