Things Become Other Things

By Craig Mod

★★★☆☆ 3/5

A deeply personal, fun read. One that held specific value and enjoyment for me, but that may prove to be less interesting for those without an interesting in Japan, walking, or stream-of-consciousness style writing. I really enjoyed the short chapters and snippets used to break up the stories here. I found the first-hand insights from within rural Japan and the way Craig contrasts this experience to his childhood in the US through the lens of late friend, Brian, to be particularly relevant.
