"The best of the best from this year's bountiful harvest of uncommonly strong offerings ... Deeply original." --"O, The Oprah Magazine" "Milena Michiko Flasar's beautiful novel ... is a story about freedom and responsibility, and it results in an almost Sartrean meditation."--"Times Literary Supplement" "Exceptional ... In today's less-than-brave new world in which sincere human interaction is disappearing even as the numbers of so-called 'friends' are multiplying, Necktie is a piercing reminder to acknowledge, nurture, and share our humanity."--"Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center blog "BookDragon" "The quiet reflection of this jewel of a novel is revelatory, redemptive and hypnotic until the last word."--"Kirkus Reviews""A spare, stunning, elegiac gem of a book. Milena Michiko Flasar writes with a poet's clarity of language and vision, probing deeply below the surfaces of familiar Japanese stereotypes ... to tell a compassionate and insightful story of dysfunction, despair and friendship."--Ruth Ozeki, author of "A Tale for the Time Being""Flasar's exquisite, finely wrought novel is both a prose poem and a parable about how we deflect, defer and disconnect from life, and what is needed before we can bravely embrace it again." -- Monique Truong, author of "The Book of Salt" and "Bitter in the Mouth""A tender, melancholy book of great linguistic beauty and clarity. A flawless novel."--"Suddeutsche Zeitung""With high artistry . . . this seductive beauty is also strangely religious: the book treats life with an almost Buddhist serenity."--"Der Spiegel"Twenty-year-old Taguchi Hiro has spent the last two years of his life living as a hikikomori--a shut-in who never leaves his room and has no human interaction--in his parents' home in Tokyo. As Hiro tentatively decides to reenter the world, he spends his days observing life around him from a park bench. Gradually he makes friends with Ohara Tetsu, a middle-aged salaryman who has lost his job but can't bring himself to tell his wife, and shows up every day in a suit and tie to pass the time on a nearby bench. As Hiro and Tetsu cautiously open up to each other, they discover in their sadness a common bond. Regrets and disappointments, as well as hopes and dreams, come to the surface until both find the strength to somehow give a new start to their lives. This beautiful novel is moving, unforgettable, and full of surprises. The reader turns the last page feeling that a small triumph has occurred.Milena Michiko Flasar was born in 1980, the daughter of a Japanese mother and an Austrian father. She lives in Vienna. "I Called Him Necktie" won the 2012 Austrian Alpha Literature Prize.
