A room you do not leave until you finish the book. Keigo Mizutani hands each guest a hardcover, this round Chisano Nakanishi's Mishima Prize novel Tachibana no Ie, at 3:30pm on Sunday in Chiyoda, and the group reads in silence until, around 6:30pm, the talk turns to what everyone made of it. The 3,200 yen covers the book, which is yours to keep, and light food. Bring a laptop for your notes and the address arrives with your place.
