Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki
Don't read this book if hungry. This author writes about food in the way that Tolkien writes about trees: with exquisite and infuriating detail.
A queen of hell, a demon, a family of aliens, a homeless violinist, a doughnut store, video game music... it's so hard to tie this story down into a single review.
Just go with it. It'll be worth it.

Update: Light From Uncommon Stars.
I finished this book the other day. I don’t always mention books by name before I read the ending, because so many drop the ending.
But I was so taken with this book’s entire personality (which it has a lot of) that I did not even care if the ending flopped. I loved it already and no ending, however lame, was going to change that.
The ending was perfect right down to the very last word.

Almost to the end of Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki.
Chapter 35 is exquisite. You have to read the rest of the book to appreciate the wonder that is Chapter 35, but it’s worth it.
When a writer blends music and writing, it wakes up parts of my subconscious that other writing doesn’t and makes me pause to question, How did they do that? Can I do it too?
Virginia Woolf works with musical structures in her writing. David Mitchell did it in Cloud Atlas.

I’m 40% through. I have wiped away tears of sorrow at least three times. I’ve felt nauseous and I’ve lost track of how often it’s made me laugh out loud.
It weaves the ordinary, the bizarre, the rare, and extraordinary in the best way. There’s playfulness here, and mischief making. As well as some deeply serious themes being explored. The juxtapositions work.
