YOSHIMOTO, BANANA; BACKUS, MEGAN (TRANSLATED BY)

Kitchen

New York, Grove Press. 1993, First U.S. Edition. (ISBN: 0802115160) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Collectible, 152 pp.; 19 cm. First published, 1988, under title: Kitchin. Translated from the Japanese. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First English-Language Edition." Fine DJ. "Banana Yoshimoto's novels have created a sensation in Japan and all over the world. With the publication of Kitchen, the dazzling English-language debut that is still her best-loved book, the literary world realized that Yoshimoto was a young writer of enduring talent and great passion whose work has quickly earned a place among the best of contemporary Japanese literature. Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen is an enchantingly original and deeply affecting book that juxtaposes two tales about mothers, love, tragedy, and the power of the kitchen and home in the lives of a pair of free-spirited young women in contemporary Japan. Mikage, the heroine of 'Kitchen,' is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, Mikaga is taken in by her friend Yoichi and his mother (who is really his cross-dressing father) Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale with the kitchen and the comforts of home at its heart. In a whimsical style that recalls the early Marguerite Duras, 'Kitchen' and its companion story, 'Moonlight Shadow,' are elegant tales whose seeming simplicity is the ruse of a very special writer whose voice echoes in the mind and the soul. / BANANA YOSHIMOTO was born in 1964. She is the author of Kitchen, N.P. Lizard, Amrita, Asleep, and, most recently, Goodbye Tsugumi. Her writing has won numerous prizes around the world." - Publisher. Fine/Fine.

Lizard

New York, Washington Square Press. 1996, First edition thus. (ISBN: 0671532766) Mass Market Paperback , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 180 pp.; 19 cm. Translated from the Japanese. Tight, clean copy. "I shall refer to her as Lizard here, but not because of the small lizard tattoo that I discovered on her inner thigh. The woman has round, black eyes that gaze at you with utter detachment, like the eyes of a reptile. Every bend and curve of her small body is cool to the touch, so cool that I want to scoop her up in my two hands. This may bring to mind the image of a man holding a bunny or a chick, but that's not what I mean. What I imagine is the strange, tickling sensation of sharp claws scampering around in my palms. And then, when I open up my hands to take a peek, a thin, red tongue lashes out. Reflected in those glassy eyes, I see my own lonely face, peering down, looking for something to love and cherish. That's what Lizard feels like to me.. / Banana Yoshimoto was born in 1964. She has won numerous prizes in her native Japan, and her first book, Kitchen, has sold millions of copies worldwide. She lives in Tokyo. Kitchen and her highly praised novel, N.P. are both available from Washington Square Press." - Publisher. Fine.

N.P.

1994. Paperback. Pp: 194. In N.P. Banana Yoshimoto's enchanting novel of uncanny subtlety, style, magic, and mystery, a celebrated Japanese writer has committed suicide, leaving behind a collection of stories written in English. But the book, itself titled N.P. may never be published in his native Japan: each translator who takes up the ninety-eighth story chooses death too-including Kazami Kano's boyfriend, Shoji. Haunted by Shoji's death, Kazami is inexorably drawn to three young people whose lives are intimately bound to the late writer and his work. Over the course of an astonishing summer, she will discover the truth behind the ninety-eighth story-and she will come to believe that "everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful, enough to make you crazy.".
