Pickpick

There are a few books that I keep having to replace on my bookshelf. I can't stop sharing them!

My personal copy is always battered, creased and sometimes slightly boughed.
The book, the thoughts of the author, become a place of comfort, even in the moments where the characters aren't particularly comfortable.

This is one of those books. A summary does it no justice.

A book about a writer who commits suicide before his last book can be translated and the book's ability to inflict grief and misery and eventually suicide to every translator there after.

Again, Banana Yoshimoto creates a story which fills the reader with suspense yet peace, grief and yet utter bliss. 5/5📖#np bananayoshimoto #banana #yoshimoto #fiction #japaneselit
