Beautiful and uncomfortable, I love Kono's style and descriptions. These were sometimes unsettling but always really enjoyable.
A collection of short stories that dispels the notion of Japanese women as doll like, duty bound existences in an overtly patriarchal society. Kono's women have their own personality, their own vices and bear their own crosses. The stories are masterfully wound around familial settings and culminates in upsetting the reader's perception of how the end is supposed to be.
