Dragon Palace is an anthology of short stories. The main theme of all of them is magical realism, along with the use of folklore and elements of Japanese mythology. Some of them I found too weird to be enjoyable, others were better though and they were easier to understand what Hiromi Kawakami wanted to convey.
