So even as it movingly relates Benny’s struggles to reckon with his voices, helped by homeless Slovenian poet/philosopher Slovaj and a waiflike but tough young outsider calling herself the Aleph, and Annabelle’s struggles to hold onto her son, this is also a story about how stories work.

In this latest work from Booker Prize finalist Ozeki ( A Tale for the Time Being), young teenager Benny Oh is coping with the death of his Korean Japanese, jazz clarinet–playing father.
