A beautiful review of my short novel The Teashop just appeared in the February 2011 issue of the prestigious Japanese monthly magazine “Hito“.

My Japanese publisher, Mr. Edward Lipsett, was kind enough to provide a summary in English:

“The reviewer says that reading a book is like a journey; it transports you to another land, or another time past or future. She says this book will take a reader on an exquisite journey, thanks to the stories of master Eastern European fantastika author Zoran Zivkovic.  She mentions that Teashop mixes fantasy and reality, and has a very powerful ending, also cites the other two stories as being excellent, and ends by saying that this is a valuable first book publication in Japan by a leading author. She recommends it highly.”

Here is the cover of the forthcoming Portuguese edition of The Last Book. The Cavalo de Ferro edition is scheduled to appear on March 4th.
