A short, subtle, and funny book that quietly upends notions of the demure Japanese woman searching for a salaryman husband. Quartzy
Wonderfully entertaining stories with an electricity enlivening the narrative of an astonishingly broad set of male-female encounters. Eric Boss, MPIBA
Here are ten female voices that together tell the story of an enigmatic man. They tell their stories to fathom the unfathomable. Like a modern Decameron, this humorous, sensual, and touching story by one of Japan's most acclaimed writers is a powerful and embracing portrait of the human comedy in ten voices. Driven by desire and curiosity, the women in this book are at once familiar and mysterious, not unlike that cipher of a man, Mr. Nishino.
If you like Haruki Murakami and Yōko Ogawa, it's a safe bet that you'll love The Ten Loves of Nishino. DozoDomo (France)
The mysterious quality of Kawakami's work lies in its extraordinary allusive power, something that only
the greatest artists have. Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia (Spain)
