Hardboiled / Hardluck
Banana Yoshimoto is a name that is well known abroad, due to her fantastic books like Kitchen or Amrita. Latest translation of her novel Hard Boiled / Hard Luck fills it's expectations. It's deep, it's nostalgic, it's sad. It handles difficult and painful topics with sensitivity and gentle humor. It's naturally moving. This time the theme is dark, much darker than N.P or Kitchen. It has also something a bit sinister in it, but nothing too much. Just enough to give a little chill in your spine.I highly recommend!
