I gained a lot of perspective from this. English translation has multiple typos.

some things you just like...with Banana Yohsimoto, I just feel comfortable in the odd mood she sets and in her words.

i know objectively she's not for everyone and i honestly can't put my finger on why i enjoy her so much but i do.

one of my favorites of hers so far because I love short stoires

oh wow! This book really resonated with me. The stories pack a punch and unfold deeply into what shapes a human. These are stories of understanding yourself on a deeper level, humans on a deeper level, passions, what you're drawn to why. It felt like this was written just for me. I check it out from the library, but am buying a copy so I can highlight bits and write in notes for future reads.

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