Writing a novel is like stripping naked for the world to see, and it is a extremely vulnerable feeling. It takes courage to do, but of course, we try to layer it with fiction.
Yakuza Moon is one of the novels that made me cry, because it is so revealing, the author’s bare tattooed flesh in the cold, on every bookshelf. It is chilling.

There is nothing glorifying about pain. There is no redemption, when decisions are made. There is no turning back, once it is executed. Once published, it is a permanent mark forever, like a tattoo, like a food package labeling, this time, on the author of the finished writing product.
