Made in Tokyo

I wrote this novel on the road. I was exhausted from many red-eye flights, almost manic after too much coffee, too often heartbroken and lonely. I was crying, laughing hysterically, not being able to say a word or blabbering to myself this whole time when I was working on Made in Tokyo. It is special to me and I hope it can touch your soul as well.

Made in Tokyo is full of beautiful and heartbreaking moments. The protagonist, Tanya, is the only constant in a nonchronological tale that chases her through airports, hotels and shifting relationships. A great study of love, human experience and how we relate to each other, it explores what happens when we do ‘what we’re not supposed to,’ and what’s at the end of a path of self-destruction. A must-read for anyone who has ever been lost.

Wow. From start to finish, enthralling, deep. The writer has an uncanmy way of drawing you in at all times, with her deep personal experiences and making it feel like you were there on the ride too. Its a book that prompts constant reflection, of self and of how we all do this crazy thing called life.

An edgy literature full of truly emotions. It was very hard to
stay with Tanya through her journey without comparing with myself. Actual and totally worth reading.

Tanya's books are fighting with your rationality. You end up committing that you'd also been addictingly in love, running off in fear and proudness. You'd also been very young and reckless, trying boarderline things and admitting they were waste of time. Travelling does still make you high, although you're not 20 anymore.
That's also the ugly part of Made in Tokyo for a reader. It's not like speaking to a shrink, it's worse. It's like somebody jumped into your head and wrote everything down.
This is how your honest diary would look like. The good news is that, yes, the author comes to the conclusion that love is addictive and the best you can invest in is the love to ones self. Just like you did.
