The Fox and Dr. Shimamura by Christine Wunnicke

3.0

I read this for the August Japanese Book Club at the Argo Bookshop. This was an interesting story about a doctor sent abroad after Japan opened itself up to the world. It was an odd tale about aging, folklore, and death. It’ll be worth a reread in the future to look for all the little nuggets left by the multiple unreliable narrators.
