Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! August is #WomeninTranslation month and today we head to Japan to look at Yuko Tsushima's "A Very Strange, Enchanted Boy" which came to us via the Oxford Book of Japanese Short Stories. An interesting tale about infinity, identity, and needs of a child against the needs of an adult.
