Interview with Belle Brett, Author of Gina and the Floating World
Belle Brett’s gripping, sensuous debut novel Gina and the Floating World follows twenty-something American expatriate Dorothy Falwell’s unplanned reinvention from bank intern to bar hostess in 1980’s Tokyo. A graduate of Grub Street’s Novel Incubator program, Brett drew on personal experience to portray a world of unorthodox Zen instruction, erotic art, and high-octane sex. According to Kirkus Review, “Brett’s engaging and compulsively readable debut traces one woman’s erotic coming-of-age in a frank, intelligent manner…A sharply observed and unforgettable debut.”
