Her focus on the untouchables of Japanese culture interestingly echoes her own position as an author—Morin’s novel is self-published, and there is no greater outcast in the literary world than the self-published writer. Certainly, it is unusual for The Crimson to review a book printed by iUniverse.com, which sends to press virtually any manuscript for a tiny fee. Without a doubt, the only reason it is here is because the author...
