Good Night Papa: Short Stories from Japan and Elsewhere is fifteen tales for the time-poor and travel hungry. Triumphing over adversity is a central theme: a Japanese fugitive disguised as a pilgrim discovers his fate rests in the hands of a novice Buddhist monk; a recovering alcoholic mail pilot crashes his plane in the Australian desert with a bottle of gin on board; a snobbish widow must ask the help of local cannery workers to carry a grand piano uphill to her home in Fiji, are some of the tales told.
