Publisher's Note
In the style of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, five characters converge on a magical Brazilian plain in the heart of the rain forest. Their fates are entwined with this phenomenal expanse, which transforms their lives, raising them to the heights of wealth and fame, before carrying them to the brink of disaster.

In this comic and absurd ecological saga, the Brazilian rain forest transforms into a stage of miracles and greed.

Industry Reviews
"What happens when you mix a Japanese mystic, a Brazilian feather-healer, an American CEO, and a teeming jungle? A story that's bizarre and baroque, funny and sad. Karen Tei Yamashita's novel may say more about saving the rain forest than its non-ficiton counterparts do."
Baumbach

"One reads Karen Tei Yamashita's second novel with a sense of wonder at the author's ambition as a writer and awe at her powers as a thinker."
Baumbach

"Karen Tei Yamashita has a big talent."
Baumbach

"'Brazil-Maru' is warm, compassionate, engaging and thought-provoking."
Baumbach
