About the Book

Tosh and his wife, Judith, take a trip to Japan, the land of his ancestors. Pregnant, hot, and uncomfortable, Judith comes face to face with their differences during a trip to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum.

The short story collection Poached Egg On Toast showcases Itani’s ability to shine a clear light on what it feels like to be an outsider, displaced and disconnected from the world at hand, and how a single, small moment can cause a seismic shift in our emotional landscape. Wickedly funny and unbearably sad, Itani’s stories leave us with a renewed sense of humanity.
