Today we finally drop the episode covering the winner of our first Substack subscriber poll!
BREASTS AND EGGS is the first novel from award-winning Japanese author Mieko Kawakami to be translated into English (though her other novels have all been translated in the few years since!)
Kawakami is a failed J-Pop singer (she released 2 albums during a J-Pop decline) who discovered she loved writing the lyrics more than the music. She turned this into poetry and prose on a blog during the heyday of blogging and drew in 200,000+ reader PER DAY for her writing.
THE WINES:
Dallas' Pairing:
Domaine Ciringa “Fosilni Breg” Sauvignon Blanc, Slovenia
Dave's Pairing:
2022 Nonesuch Mencia, Silvaspoon Vineyard, Alta Mesa, California
