My name is Fumika Oita. Japanese, lesbian, only child, blue-collar worker\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
Married to a man. You know. As you do.<\/b><\/p>\n
When my gay best friend Jiro Oita said he needed a wife to get his inheritance, I was the first one to sign up. But what I discovered is that life changes when you enter even a bearded marriage. Your friends at the bars and clubs suddenly want nothing to do with you. You\u2019ve betrayed them. Good job.<\/p>\n
Dating? Forget about it!<\/p>\n
My name is Fuu, and this is the wind I\u2019ve blown in on. My grandmother the Shinto elder says I need more spirituality. My ex who is now convinced she\u2019s straight says I need perspective. My friends say I need a kick to the head. The wind? It\u2019s laughing at me, blowing me here, there, and everywhere but into the arms of the perfect woman for me to spend the rest of my married life with.<\/p>\n
Is it the priestess at the local Shinto shrine? My embarrassing ex? Hell, is it my husband\u2019s boyfriend?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to make a lot of dumb decisions and have the awakening of my life. If you\u2019re reading this, then the wind has blown you here too. Fate doesn\u2019t fool around.<\/p>\n
But I do.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s pray. For whatever.<\/p>\n
BLOWN BY AN INCONVENIENT WIND features a young lesbian navigating her unconventional life in modern Tokyo, with a healthy dose of Shinto spirituality smacking her in the head.<\/i><\/p>\n
