Tokyo Dreaming
Tokyo Dreaming was written in the midst of a trip to Japan, a place where Eric lived and worked for three years after graduating university. The story describes his navigation of the complex city with his 17-year-old nephew and the navigation of his even more complex 17-year-old memories of his mind.
