Tsunami provides a comprehensive portrait of a manifold tragedy in 9 interlinked stories. As the characters find their way to one another, the message transcends devastation and loss in a single country. It becomes a universal message of human persistence and capacity. 

Escape from Sonoyo is a book of journeys—metaphysical, personal and communal—personifying the tragedy through the struggles of one family. Separated emotionally and physically, they embark on an odyssey back to one another. Intimate and vast, mystical and mundane, it addressed matters of family, loyalty, purpose, honor, courage, shame, love, adaptability, resilience, spirituality and redemption.

. . . and the world shifted follows an iconoclast translator and a rookie reporter, through the devastated Tohoku region. Recording the testimony of the victims, rescuers, refugees, doctors, soldiers, police and criminals who appear in the previous two volumes, their trek is both outward and inward—each witness trying to make sense of themselves, their place in the world, and a civilization in sudden, incomprehensible ruin.
