Watersong (2022) By Clarissa Goenawan
The world is so much more than black and white, for there are always things unknown to us — secrets. A person is not who you think they are unless you know what they hide from the world. Explore the fictional Japanese town of Akakawa and meet Shouji Arai, an “ear prostitute.” Arai is tasked with listening to the confessions and stories made (no matter how bizarre) by the town’s elite.
