The soul hasn’t been kicked out of the cycle of rebirth just yet–he’s been given a second chance. He must recall the biggest mistake of his past life while on ‘homestay’ in the body of fourteen-year-old Makoto Kobayashi\, who has just committed suicide. It looks like Makoto doesn’t have a single friend\, and his family don’t seem to care about him at all. But as the soul begins to live Makoto’s life on his own terms\, he grows closer to the family and the people around him\, and sees their true colors more clearly\, shedding light on Makoto’s misunderstandings. \nSince its initial release over twenty years ago\, Colorful has become a part of the literary canon\, not only in Japan–where it has sold over a million copies–but around the world\, having been translated into several different languages. Now\, Eto Mori’s beloved classic is finally available in English. \n\n \nEto Mori has been a literary star in Japan for over thirty years. She has won numerous major awards in Japan including the Naoki Prize\, one of Japan’s most prestigious awards for popular fiction. Colorful has been translated into seven different languages\, and adapted into three films. Colorful is her first novel to be translated into English. She lives in Tokyo\, Japan. \n  \n  \n  \nJocelyne Allen has translated hundreds of short stories\, novels\, and manga\, including the Eisner Award-winning titles Frankenstein by Junji Ito and Onward Toward Our Noble Deaths by Shigeru Mizuki. She splits her time between Toronto and Tokyo. \n\nWriter Kris Kosaka moved to Japan in 1996 to accept a position teaching high school English at an international school. She fell in love with the country and soon met her future husband\, Makoto. They made their home in Kamakura\, where Kris continued teaching and writing while raising their two children. Although temporarily in Tampa\, FL (her hometown) while their daughter completes her high school education in the States\, Kris’s heart is in Japan. In her spare time\, Kris enjoys reading and running. Kris is a frequent contributor to The Japan Times\, and a regular columnist for their Books pages. \n\n\nToronto International Festival of Authors\nFriday\, October 29\, 4:30 PM (EDT) \nDetails and registration > \nEto Mori introduces her book Colorful on the virtual stage of the 2021 Toronto International Festival of Authors.
