Una mirada inocente pero implacable sobre la tristeza y la soledad.
Uniendo armónicamente el Japón tradicional y el moderno, Banana Yoshimoto ofrece en este volumen seis relatos cuyos protagonistas, jóvenes y no tan jóvenes, hombres y mujeres, se enfrentan al paso del tiempo y a la necesidad de superar sus traumas infantiles, sus amores atormentados, los abandonos. También la de contemplar lúcidamente sus vidas. Existencias que parecen discurrir sin rumbo, sin sentido, o sin apenas sorpresas, tienen de pronto la oportunidad de albergar por primera vez la esperanza en un futuro más feliz, en seis relatos tejidos en un Tokio donde al atardecer la luna se funde con el cielo y empiezan a parpadear las luces nocturnas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An innocent yet relentless look at sadness and loneliness.
Harmoniously blending traditional and modern Japan, Banana Yoshimoto offers in this volume six stories whose protagonists--young and not so young, men and women--face the passage of time and the need to overcome childhood traumas, tormented loves, and abandonment. They also confront the lucid contemplation of their own lives. Existences that seem to drift aimlessly, without meaning, or without surprises suddenly have the chance to harbor hope for a happier future, in six stories woven in a Tokyo where, at sunset, the moon merges with the sky and the city lights begin to twinkle.
