{"product_id":"will-my-touch-make-you-peter-wodarz-9781683151760","title":"Will My Touch Make You Feel Any Less Lonely?","description":"\u003cem\u003eFor the emotionally adventurous, the ethically conflicted, and the romantically bruised...\u003c\/em\u003e Imagine a garment stitched from silk and regret, lined with ambition, and hemmed in betrayal. Now imagine wearing it across three continents, through the neon-lit alleys of Tokyo, the smoky jazz bars of New York, and the quiet, snow-covered streets of Aomori. That's what reading this novel feels like.You'll meet Makoto Tanaka, a young man with a Waseda education, a taste for indie records, and a talent for seduction-of women, of markets, of fate itself. He's a stockbroker by day, a lover by night, and a liar in between. He marries the boss's daughter. He falls for a teenage McDonald's cashier. He writes letters. He disappears. He returns. He sins. He repents. He sins again.This is not a love story. It's a ledger of emotional transactions-some paid in full, others left in arrears.You'll encounter Mariko, the porcelain bride with a spine of steel; Mary, the American girl who learns Japanese and heartbreak in equal measure; Nami, the flight attendant who serves tea, turbulence, and temptation; Satomi, the unexpected redemption, found not in a hotel room but in a home.There are minders. There are mistresses. There are moments of such aching beauty-like a handkerchief folded with care or a whispered apology in a darkened room-that you'll forget to breathe.And yes, there is a baby. And a golf club. And a karaoke bar. And a kokeshi doll that watches everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wodarz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683151763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683151760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Culicidae Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.11d","brand":"Peter Wodarz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48218006356223,"sku":"9781683151760","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e48f5572-aa35-4cf0-ba09-c0dd8bd1d47f.jpg?v=1772000822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/will-my-touch-make-you-peter-wodarz-9781683151760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
