An exploration of Asia through tragic romance, heartbreak, magic, cautionary tales and triumph.
Now available in print! From the author of the Life is a Beautiful Thing Series and Boy versus Self comes a collection of stories exploring modern-day Asia. These stories, most of which were penned in their actual locations over the last five years, deal heavily with aging, magic both good and bad, as well as the continuing aftermath of globalization. The stories take place in Nepal, India, Korea, Mongolia and Japan. In "Stuffed Prey," a Japanese maid café employee's obsession with claw machines is likened to the very human desire to succeed. Harmon Cooper, the author of the collection, was in a bus accident in India in 2011. "The Sciatica Goblin and the International Motley Crew," is a recollection of this experience. Facing retirement, a subway worker named Kodai runs from his post onto the highway in "Tokyo Stirs." He continues running, as the news media and police chase behind him. Heavy on the magical realism side, "Tani House," explores the unique relationship between an old woman and her guesthouse in Kyoto. "Modern Nomads" is a surrealist piece about a waitress who has had eyelid surgery in Mongolia. In "Pouring Hearts," a former soldier returns to Korea twenty years after his tour of duty to find his long lost love. What he finds instead will haunt him forever. In "Dreaded," a man named Tommy is almost imprisoned by Nepali police after attending a dance club filled with under-aged girls. In "Fishing with Shiva," a man suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease tells a bittersweet story to his caretaker about his time in Nepal. These three stories form a trio of stories all connected by a book called Once upon the Ganges. The stories in Tokyo Stirs are bittersweet stories, written to inspire both hope and fear regarding the passing of time.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. These stories will stay with you afterwards. Definitely recommend. By Beverly Clark I am a fan of short stories as they are ideal when traveling or waiting at the doctor's office.This set of stories took me on a different path as they are short stories with an Asian theme. The author writes in a way that gives one plenty of details and a lot of bang for the buck. With an imagination that seems boundless, the author transports the reader from situation to situation in each unique story. Each story is rich in vivid characters and written with solid imagination, the author drew me in on the first page. I won't say I had a favorite story as that would be like saying one of my children is my favorite.These stories will stay with you afterwards. Definitely recommend.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Short stories By Susan B I love a good collection of short stories, and this is one of them. I like the little common threads that these books have. Mr. Latchman likes to get around with his copy of, "Once upon The Ganges." Harmon Cooper is one of my favorite authors, and boy, can he crank them out! Keep up the great work!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and not a bad story amongst them By Kay Smillie Short stories set in various venues such as Japan, Korea, Mongolia and Nepal, and not a bad story amongst them. Harmon Cooper never disappoints.Very well written, skilful, humorous, emotional, frustrating, thoughtful, painful, beautiful, and full of suffering. Wherever the author's feet go, his imagination follows, or is it the other way around?The reader will spend time considering the messages in these stories, and may even learn a lesson or two about themselves. The full list of emotions will be used whilst reading.I love the connections through the stories, particularly the 'Once upon the Ganges' stories. But there's something that's been niggling at me since I finished this book...what's the name of the female author of 'Once upon the Ganges'? Yes, she is the Dreaded Man's girlfriend, she is Asian, possibly Buddhist, but she is nameless.Highly recommended.
