A Tale for the Time Being

Ruth Ozeki is an American of Japanese origin, a specialist in classical Japanese literature and a florist with a passion for theater and cinema. In 2010, she was granted the rank of a Buddhist priest. Ozeki is actively involved in public life on university campuses and lives between Brooklyn and Cortes Island in British Columbia, where she writes, knits socks, and raises ducks with her husband Oliver.

“My Floating Fish Will Live” is a novel full of subtle irony and a deep understanding of relationships between author, reader, and characters, reality and fantasy, quantum physics, history, and myth. It’s an engaging, enchanting story about humanity and the search for home.
