About the Author:
Ruth Ozaki by Danielle Tait
Japanese American novelist Ruth Ozeki has been called “one of our era’s most compassionate and original minds” (Dave Eggers). Ozeki’s first two novels, My Year of Meats and All Over Creation, found an international audience and were selected as New York Times Notable Books. Her third novel A Tale for the Time Being was a finalist for the Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award and has been published in more than 30 countries. “A comical-satirical-farcical-epical-tragical-romantical novel” (The Chicago Tribune) said to be filled with “mysteries to be solved and ideas to be explored” (The Washington Post), A Tale for the Time Being was the winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Yasnaya Polyana Literary Award.
