In the Chirping of Cicadas

About This Novel

Here are some stories from summer. When the chirping of cicadas becomes ubiquitous, and when time is drawn out long and slow by the heat wave, some things happen naturally. The book records those moments magnified by the seasons: the quiet distance between desks, the sudden encounter at the end of the corridor, how the unspoken words dissipated in the evening wind. There were also exercises in farewell-not the solemn kind, but the end of summer, that harbinger of something ending that everyone could feel but couldn't quite explain. Cicadas chirp throughout, sometimes noisily and sometimes suddenly stopping. In those quiet gaps, perhaps other sounds can be heard.
