Description:


From the author of Winter in Sokcho, which won the 2021 National Book Award for Translated Literature.





The days are beginning to draw in. The sky is dark by seven in the evening. I lie on the floor and gaze out of the window. Women's calves, men's shoes, heels trodden down by the weight of bodies borne for too long.




It is summer in Tokyo. Claire finds herself dividing her time between tutoring twelve-year-old Mieko in an apartment in an abandoned hotel and lying on the floor at her grandparents- daydreaming, playing Tetris, and listening to the sounds from the street above. The heat rises; the days slip by.




The plan is for Claire to visit Korea with her grandparents. They fled the civil war there over fifty years ago, along with thousands of others, and haven't been back since. When they first arrived in Japan, they opened Shiny, a pachinko parlour. Shiny is still open, drawing people in with its bright, flashing lights and promises of good fortune. And as Mieko and Claire gradually bond, their tender relationship growing, Mieko's determination to visit the pachinko parlour builds.



The Pachinko Parlour is a nuanced and beguiling exploration of identity and otherness, unspoken histories, and the loneliness you can feel within a family. Crisp and enigmatic, Shua Dusapin's writing glows with intelligence.








'A book full of delicacy and melancholy ... sprinkled with meticulous touches.'

'A prismatic and calm guide of a book, that looks at the way that even (or especially) with family, you can feel

So comfy
Solid solid solid shoe. The value for the money you spend is quick to be noticed. Working in a dental office, I’m on my feet a lot and all of these brands who say they were made by nurses blah blah blah are liars. These were finally the shoes that didn’t make my ankles or feet sore. They take shock absorption so smoothly, and allow me to feel supported and comfortable. Wearing them all day isn’t a chore and honestly made me realize I was less grumpy because I was much more comfortable

I am pleased. I like this shirt!
Color: All Black, Size: Medium
I put this shirt on right away. It's breathable, lightweight, stretchy, and well-made. I bought the black one, and the fit is perfect, even though it's polyester. I usually prefer natural fibers, but I love the design and the reduced price, so I bought one. The mock turtleneck is comfortably fitted and comfortable around the neck. The short sleeve cuffs hug the biceps nicely. There may be some negative reviews, but not from me. I just bought another one in navy blue, medium. I tried on the shirt with a sports jacket, a bomber, and three different lightweight zip-up jackets, and it goes well with all of them. I still prefer natural fibers, but I also like the Coofandy brand. I have purchased their shirts made of natural fibers as well. The quality is consistent. I ordered and received another shirt in blue. It's a different kind of knit, but fits like a glove. Soft and stretchy, sleeves fit my biceps, and the color hugs the neck close and gently. These shirts are the best!
