Tuhia he whakamāramatanga mō tēnei wāhanga - Ko te pukapuka a Ozeki o te tau 2013, "A Tale for the Time Being" (Viking Penguin) e kōrero ana i te kōrero mō tētahi pukapuka kōrero ngaro i tuhia e tētahi kōtiro kura raruraru i Tokyo, i horoia ki te takutai o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa o Kanata i muri i te ruu me te tsunami o Hapanihi i te tau 2011.
He aha? Ka kitea te pukapuka e tētahi kaituhi, ko Rutu te ingoa, e hiahia nui ana ki te rapu i te tūponotanga o te kotiro. I kiia e Junot Diaz tenei pukapuka ko te tino pai a Ozeki - he whakamiharo, he mohio, he ngahau, he ngakau pouri, he maha nga wa i te whaarangi kotahi. " I whakawhiwhia te pukapuka ki te 2013 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction, ka whakaingoatia ko te kaiwhiwhi tuatahi o te 2015 Yasnaya Polyana Literary Award (i whakatuhia e te Leo Tolstoy Museum & Estate me Samsung Electronics) mo te Pukapuka Tuarua Pai rawa atu o te rautau 21st. Kua riro i te pukapuka etahi atu tohu motu me te ao, a kua whakaputaina i roto i neke atu i te toru tekau nga whenua.
