The first story, Newlywed, was really interesting though, and elevates this collection for me. These stories do capture a feeling of the early '90s, the ennui, the changes in society that were happening unseen to many of us, and of course, the struggle to find identity, purpose, and hope are universal. I was intrigued enough by this collection that I will read more of Yoshimoto-san's works. ( ) Carino ma non indimenticabile, comunque piacevole e letto volentieri. Forse "Lucertola" è proprio il racconto che mi è piaciuto di più. Seguito da Sangue e Acqua e Strana storia sulla sponda del fiume. Come sempre la Yoshimoto nella sua semplicità mi trasmette speranza e armonia. Sì, è proprio un bicchiere d'acqua fresca! http://www.lacasadialchemilla.com/2013/02/lucertola-di-banana-yoshimoto-1993.htm... no reviews | add a review
