Mieko Kawakami recommends

Woman of Light (2022)
Kali Fajardo-Anstine
"With a single phrase, line of dialogue, description, Fajardo-Anstine has the power to accurately express the joy and sadness in a person's life, their history, how the world comes into contact with us, and how we come into contact with the world. . . . Captivating."
