“Japan Times” has given “At the End of the Matinee” a great review!

Reading At the End of the Matinee feels like being transported back to a time and place that illuminates the present. The struggles faced by the lovers — Satoshi Makino, a multilingual journalist, and Yoko Komine, a renowned classical guitarist — become an allegorical investigation into humanity’s search for completeness against a constant stream of setbacks and pain.
