"This Single Road" named a Best Asian American Book of 2025

We're delighted to see Alan Chong Lau’s This Single Road: Postcards and Notebooks from Kyoto included in Soapberry Review’s Best Asian American Books of 2025.

"...an intimate peek at the artist who observes life as it comes to him, whether watching a child play during a train ride or stumbling upon a master noodle-maker in the mountains...This Single Road is a narrative of meditative moments that add up to a larger whole, and I appreciated the chance to accompany this Buddha Bandit on his journey through the simple pleasures of life..."   — Frank Abe, co-editor of The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration
