Who needs the Devil when people can create a hell like this themselves?
Aoki masterfully wove a story for us that is jarring and real, yet also soft and reads like a fairytale.
On paper, it shouldn't go together as well as it does, but it is the life of Katrina.
I am not intimately familiar with musical intruments or donut making, but I am very glad to take part of the journey of both. Made me feel like part of the family.
Now, excuse me, I need to go to drink my tangerine juice, share my donut with the ducks and listen to Bartók.
