In JR Alila's NOT ON MY SKIN, the all-American Harmony City is not exactly harmonious. Individualism, prejudice and arms-length neighborliness greet Ochome--an alien poet and suburbanite, who has staked out his evenings in one of the city's downtown cafes.

The cafe crowd has a few regulars who, like most...
