Me and Utada Hikaru in JQ magazine

I used to hear trans-cultural Japanese soul-tinged pop singer Utada Hikaru's late 90's hit, "Automatic," in nearly every convenience story and supermarket I patronized during my first year as an adult in Japan. It's a somewhat nostalgic honor to now share the pages of the latest issue of JQ, the magazine of the JET Alumni Association of New York (JETaaNY), which can be found--with Utada gracing the cover--here: JQ

I was interviewed by the very astute Larry Heiman, also a writer, minutes after this spring's JET Alumni Author's Showcase and book-signing in midtown Manhattan. Hoarse voice and all.
