In Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Zevin aimed to further explore how gaming "is a kind of storytelling." Zevin herself is an avid gamer and wanted to reflect her passion in the novel. But their success is undermined by human emotion, betrayal, and gross overambition. The two initially pretend not to see each other, but they eventually form a bond and partnership which will catapult both of them into superstardom. One day, Sam meets a girl on the platform of a subway called Sadie Green. Over the course of thirty years and across multiple states, the novel follows Sam Masur, a junior at the prestigious Harvard University.

For instance, after a heron, in a deceptive ploy, consumes all the fish in a lake, a crab outwits him then makes his way back to the water, "weeping all the while for his lost friends." Lee draws the frame story in black-and-white, with Buddha in teaching posture and the animals listening attentively. ![]() Each story is a study in brevity and restraint yet, like Buddha, conveys enormous empathy. Lee (The Song of Mu Lan) effortlessly and subtly weaves Buddhist practices and principles into her evenly paced tales. In each tale, Buddha assumes a different shape to impart his message of peace, attentiveness, tolerance and respect. As the monkey's eyes adjust to the light, he discovers he is in the company of a lion, turtle, jackal and dove, and a statue of "the Enlightened One" begins to speak. A monkey that takes refuge in the ruins of Buddha's temple during a monsoon sets the stage for these finely honed retellings of six Jatakas, or birth stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Can Sally discover what it means to be true to herself and save the town she's learned to call home, or will her future turn into her worst.
