More DescriptionDrowning in the Floating World by Meg Eden immerses us into the Japanese natural disaster known as 3/11: the 2011 T¿hoku earthquake and tsunami, and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Relentless as the disaster itself, Eden seizes control of our deepest emotional centers, and, through insightful perspective, holds us in consideration of loss, helplessness, upheaval, and, perhaps most stirring, what do make of, and do with, survival. Her collection is also a cultural education, sure to encourage further reading and research.
