Sitting in a German cafe, in her regular place, between classes and under the watchful gaze of her landlords, the Muellers, Ruth contemplates an unopened letter, which takes her back through a marriage, an affair, and the choices that define her life.

The short story collection Poached Egg On Toast showcases Itani's ability to shine a clear light on what it feels like to be an outsider, displaced and disconnected from the world at hand, and how a single, small moment can cause a seismic shift in our emotional landscape. Wickedly funny and unbearably sad, Itani's stories leave us with a renewed sense of humanity.
