I’m writing this review like MONTHS after I read this because I finished it and I didn’t quite know what to think abt it. Still kind of don’t. Tried to re-read it but really only muddled through it reluctantly before returning it to the library.
Two succinct stories about grief. Yoshimoto’s prose is candid and a little odd. It made me cry on public transportation. What the hell, Miss Banana!!!!
