Tokyo Tempos

Tokyo Tempos

In Tokyo Tempos, award-winning mystery writer Michael Pronko writes about the mystery of everyday Tokyo life. He takes his three decades of living, writing, and teaching in Japan and delves into what it’s like living with Japanese food, seasons, ceremonies, rules, and trains.

The pithy, pointed writings in Tokyo Tempos offer a reminder of how even huge cities like Tokyo live and breathe with the loves, hopes, pleasures, and puzzling meanings of the people who live there.

Tokyo Tempos is the fourth in the Tokyo Moments Series.

Motions and Moments

“Pronko takes the sweeping size, bustle, and chaos of Tokyo and makes it small, introspective, and personal.” Independent Publisher

Tokyo’s Mystery Deepens

“A rare glimpse of the structure and nature of Tokyo's underlying psyche.” Midwest Book Review

Beauty and Chaos

“An elegantly written, precisely observed portrait of a Japanese city and its culture.” Kirkus Reviews

As for the Detective Hiroshi series set in Tokyo: “If there’s a better crime series set in Japan, I’ve not yet read it.” Crime Thriller Hound

“The city of Tokyo is very much a character in its own right. It's not the tourist hotspots we see, but the real city with the food and drink which the locals consume. It's glorious.” The Bookbag review of Tokyo Traffic.

BookLife Review wrote that Pronko’s sixth novel, Shitamachi Scam, “does as good a job of taking us on a trip through Tokyo as Simenon does through Inspector Maigret's Paris.” So, join Pronko on an enlightening non-fictional trip through Tokyo.
