Cuentos para perderse en reflexiones... no tan impactantes ni magistrales, pero sí entretenidos e interesantes.

This is the first book that I have read by Banana Yoshimoto and it will most certainly not be my last as I really enjoyed these short stories. One thing I found particularly striking about these collections is how the mundanity of human life meets these more fantastical ideas.

None of these stories were very interesting to me. I think the two I enjoyed most were Dreaming of Kimchee and A Strange Tale from Down by the River, but eh.
(I listened to the audiobook and Emily Woo Zeller as narrator made my experience of the book at least somewhat pleasant.)
