- Ruth Ozeki talks with host Rich Fahle about her novel, A Tale For the Time Being, at the 2016 AWP Conference and Book Fair.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. A diary is Nao’s only solace-and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine. Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox-possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.
Full of Ozeki’s signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home.

This book slayed my soul, snatched my wig and burnt my crops. Absolutely amazing. One of my faves, if not my absolute favourite book of all time. Thank you Ruth.
This book came at me like a bolt from the blue. What a story. What a talented writer.
One of the best books I've ever read
I've read this book like 3 times and decided to look into discussions about it.
Never realised before now the now/nao pun.
How did I miss that for so long.
The character mentions it. It’s the page with a fish on it…….
Truly an astounding book, utterly glad to have read it
Brilliant book, brilliant author :)
my favorite book of all time
made me rethink my entire life and how i live. i love it so much T_T
I'm reading this now because I found it a Little Free Library near my home. I love the feeling of the cover as I'm holding it. I'm not quite halfway through it, but I'm rooting for Nao and Ruth.
