Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone by Sequoia Nagamatsu
5.0
Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone is a brilliant and beautiful poetic consmatteration of Japanese mythology of every stripe that brings us back to question ourselves.
I fell in love with the first story, wishing that it wouldn't end. The mashup of Godzilla as pop culture and myth and a touching family story works seamlessly and sets the tone for the rest of the book. Even when I found myself unsettled by a story, Nagamatsu weaves the fantastic in such a way to make that discomfort seem normal, mostly.
I couldn't put it down.
