Do you love Japanese literature? The JSB Book Club will be meeting to discuss The Tatami Galaxy by Tomihiko Morimi.

The inspiration behind the much-loved anime series, Tomihiko Morimi's contemporary classic is a fantastic journey through time and space, where a half-eaten castella cake, a photograph from Rome, and a giant cavity in a wisdom tooth hold the keys to self-discovery. A realm of possibility opens up for the protagonist, a Kyoto University student, as time rewinds, and from the four-and-a-half-mat tatami floor of his dorm room, he is plunged into a series of adventures that will take him to four parallel universes.
