Critics Review
“Reading these essays is a bit like sitting around a campfire by a lake at night, listening to Nakadate muse about his numerous adventures, large and small … A natural-born storyteller, Nakadate can turn on a dime from amusing and wry to pithy and aphoristic, then wind up charming and sweet… .
