This gray zone between the personal and the political is a minefield that Tomine navigates boldly and nimbly. Being human, all too human, they fail to see that what unites them is their shared hypocrisies, their double standards. This accusation (and its various implications) becomes the subject of heated, spiralling debate, setting in motion a story that pits California against New York, devotion against desire, and trust against truth.īy confusing their personal problems with political ones, Ben and Miko are strangely alone together and oddly alike, even as they fly apart. His girlfriend, Miko Hayashi, suspects that Ben has a wandering eye, and more to the point, it’s wandering in the direction of white women.
In addition to being rampantly critical, sarcastic, and insensitive, his long-term relationship is awash in turmoil.
