Danza
Résumé
Danza is a collection of six short stories that chronicle interpersonal relationships by House of Five Leaves and Ristorante Paradiso author Natsume Ono. In "Rubber Boots," the death of a business partner brings an estranged father and his adult son back together. The sudden appearance of a mysterious stranger helps a widower father reconnect with his precocious young son in "Memories of the Lake." A German-American man struggles to bond with his "Diorama"-constructing Japanese father-in-law. A young Italian officer experiences payback of a humorous nature in "The Gelateria and the Carabinieri." "Smoke" finds a man confronting the older brother he resents when they are both trapped in the rubble of a castle after an earthquake hits. And in "Partners", a rookie cop in the NYPD starts harboring distrust towards his veteran partner after hearing some unsettling rumors.
