“Il rosa chiaro dei boccioli di ciliegio e le nostre mani congiunte sembravano illuminare il buio come pallide lucine” Hotaru torna nel paese natale, un piccolo borgo tranquillo attraversato da un fiume, per dimenticare le sue pene d’amore. Era andata ad abitare a Tokyo dove per otto anni aveva vissuto una relazione sentimentale con un uomo sposato, un fotografo sempre impegnato nel lavoro che inaspettatamente l’abbandona. Il ritorno di Hotaru è un ritorno all’infanzia, un modo per ritrovare pace e serenità tra gli amici e l’affetto della nonna. La madre è morta e il padre, un famoso psicologo, è in viaggio in California. Hotaru trascorre le giornate aiutando la nonna nel suo caffè dall’atmosfera intima e familiare. Rivede luoghi e persone del passato, soprattutto la sua vecchia amica Rumi, dotata di una speciale capacità di intuire ciò che si nasconde nell’animo delle persone. Un giorno, dopo una passeggiata lungo le sponde del fiume, Hotaru incontra Mitsuru, un ragazzo che le lascia una strana sensazione di déjà vu. Il titolo originale del romanzo, Hagoromo (letteralmente “abito di piume”), indica un particolare tipo di kimono leggerissimo che le tennyo, figure mitologiche dalle sembianze di donne-angelo, indossano per volare tra il mondo terreno e l’aldilà. Guarita dal dolore, Hotaru può indossare il suo “abito di piume” per librarsi in volo verso la vita, rinfrancata e “leggera”, riappropriandosi finalmente della sua gioventù e dei suoi sentimenti.
Moshi Moshi
"A beautiful translation . . . Yoshimoto deploys a magically Japanese light touch to emotionally and existentially tough subject matter: domestic disarray, loneliness, identity issues, lovesickness . . . [a] nimble narrative." ―ELLE In Moshi Moshi, Yoshie’s much–loved musician father has died in a suicide pact with an unknown woman. It is only when Yoshie and her mother move to Shimokitazawa, a traditional Tokyo neighborhood of narrow streets, quirky shops, and friendly residents that they can finally start to put their painful past behind them. However, despite their attempts to move forward, Yoshie is haunted by nightmares in which her father is looking for the phone he left behind on the day he died, or on which she is trying—unsuccessfully—to call him. Is her dead father trying to communicate a message to her through these dreams? With the lightness of touch and surreal detachment that are the hallmarks of her writing, Banana Yoshimoto turns a potential tragedy into a poignant coming–of–age ghost story and a life–affirming homage to the healing powers of community, food, and family.
The Lake
A major literary sensation is back with a quietly stunning tour de force about the redemptive power of love. While The Lake shows off many of the features that have made Banana Yoshimoto famous—a cast of vivid and quirky characters, simple yet nuanced prose, a tight plot with an upbeat pace—it’s also one of the most darkly mysterious books she’s ever written. It tells the tale of a young woman who moves to Tokyo after the death of her mother, hoping to get over her grief and start a career as a graphic artist. She finds herself spending too much time staring out her window, though ... until she realizes she’s gotten used to seeing a young man across the street staring out his window, too. They eventually embark on a hesitant romance, until she learns that he has been the victim of some form of childhood trauma. Visiting two of his friends who live a monastic life beside a beautiful lake, she begins to piece together a series of clues that lead her to suspect his experience may have had something to do with a bizarre secret from his past. . . . With echoes of real life events, such as the Aum Shinrikyo cult (the group that released poison gas in the Tokyo subway system) and the kidnapping of Japanese citizens by North Korea, The Lake unfolds as the most powerful novel Banana Yoshimoto has written. And as the two young lovers overcome their troubled past to discover hope in the beautiful solitude of the lake in the countryside, it’s also one of her most moving.
