If you’re into the new season of Something Was Wrong, don’t miss Elisabeth Blair’s memoir-in-verse BECAUSE GOD LOVES THE WASP—a haunting account of surviving abusive “troubled teen” facilities, told in searing, lyrical second-person poems.

Geri o Shimasu: Adventures of a Baka Gaijin is perfect for anyone who enjoys irreverent humor, cultural observations, and the messy reality of being an outsider in a foreign land... if you love Anthony Bourdain-style storytelling with an extra dose of chaos, you’ll eat this up.
