An army of cats joins a crew of marooned pirates to save you from explosions and knife attacks and to stop Up from becoming Down.
But before the cats, before the pirates, you are standing outside the metro in rush-hour Tokyo when the building across the street from you explodes. Seconds later, you're yanked off your feet by a salaryman who plans to use you to change the directions themselves. And you're not sure if you're hallucinating, but sometimes your feet are on the ceiling rather than the floor where they should be. Ancient texts, midnight visits from a girl with pink hair and red claws and all your worldly possessions shooting out into the street in a giant fireball eventually drive you to a temple on the Japanese coast where you hope Kannon, the goddess of mercy, can tell you which way is Up.
Jocelyne Allen is a novelist and Japanese translator based in Toronto after a decade in Japan.
