Coordinated my cup to my book today, without even meaning to! 😂 This was recommended by my honorary cousin (well, she asked if I would read it for her for her class 😂), and I‘m enjoying it so far…even though there is definitely an eerie vibe that‘s unsettling about the concept… #thememorypolice #yokoogawa #intranslation
pickA delicate poetic book. Just loved it!
-The Housekeeper and the Professor is a novel by Yōko Ogawa set in modern-day Japan. It was published in August 2003, by Shinchosha and was the first recipient of the Hon'ya Taisho award. Wikipedia-

pickI believe this book hasn't been translated to English. 😣 The title would be The Museum of Silence. *** Delicate and moving narrative. Japanese literature is always a soft and surprising reading. #OMuseuDoSilencio #YokoOgawa #ChinmokuHakubutsukan #JapaneseLiterature #Japan #book #bookaholic #booklovers #ler #leitura #leitora #reading #instabook #instaread #instabooks #bookstagram #litsy #booklover #readingabook #amreading #books #vero #Sha2018
pick1st book for #BDayBookChallenge is complete!
🍓Prose is seemingly simple, yet laced w/extraordinary meaning.
🍓Eloquent in its subtlety.
🍓Writing style is terse.
🍓Motifs are idiosyncratically pensive.
🍓Ostensibly disjointed short stories come full circle in brilliantly haunting ways.
🍓Addicting & profoundly alluring w/its Gothic ambience.
🍓Highly recommended.

pickThis book touched me and made me marvel over Ogawa's capacity to tell a moving story. This was the third novel from Ogawa that I've read and can't wait to read another one. The writing style is beautiful and the characters are developed very well. The best thing is she creates a wonderful story with various themes in less than 200 pages. Big ups to small books that say a lot! #thehousekeeper #theprofessor #yokoogawa #japaneselit
