A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki

some parts really resonated with me and others were just a slog. I've been trying to read this in print for over a year now and finally caved to finishing it in audio format. i kinda wish ruth had been left out entirely...  I'm not sure why the author is a character in this book, altho that wasn't the issue. i actually found that super interesting.  it just didn't go anywhere. i feel like ruth as a character was not utilized enough. i think this just should have been nao and jiko's book.
