    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
