2. Postcolonial Politics and Theology by Kwok Pui-Lan, Nonfiction/Essays.
A collection of essays that serves as a great overview of postcolonial theory as it relates to theology and religious studies.

1. Cat Town by Sakutaro Hagiwara, Poetry.
A striking collection, very helpful for understanding emerging Japanese Modernisms.

My wife and I have been going through it. It’s been the springboard for great, deep, wandering conversations.
