Goodreads asked Alice Lichtenstein:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Alice Lichtenstein What a fun question! Off the top of my head, I would like to travel to the remote monastery in the mountains of Japan where Jiko, the wise grandmother of "A Tale for the Time Being" (Ruth Ozeki) lives as abbot-in-residence. I want to enter the green, quiet of her solitary temple and watch her take part in ritual and join her in silence.
