Outsider by Jade Du Preez

Tokyo, 2017. Weeks from a birthday that will see her older than her mother ever was, Antoinette seeks two answers: one—how to explain her Master's thesis on light as memory, and two—was her mother's death an accident or a suicide? Then a long-lost pen-pal returns to her life, propelling her closer to the truth. Kyou, the top star of a gender-bending nabe bar, would sooner die than move into management. She needs an out, she needs cash and, most importantly, she needs an identity. As an unregistered mukoseki, she is a legal anomaly. Officially, Kyou doesn't exist. Their searches for identity intertwine with the lives of a video-game obsessed businessman and a writer who refuses to speak. Across Japan and down to New Zealand, from neon-lit alleys to tiny islands, their journey towards the truth is as tangled as their pasts. Fact and fable blur in a rich tapestry that ultimately explores what it is to be human. For fans of Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being and Ali Smith's How to be Both, Jade du Preez's Outsider is a rich, engrossing study in art, culture, and identity.
