Cuando leí El Señor Nakano solo le di 4 estrellas porque el talento demostraba que la autora podía lograr algo más grande. Bueno, esto era.
El libro es tremendo, la narrativa romantica japonesa de lo cotidiano y superfluo es atrapante. Esta autora sabe perfectamente que detalles tomar, que sentimientos mostrar. Lo mejor es que no es una novela de amor comoda, a diferencia de la romantica gringa. Esta novela te incomoda y cuando ya te fuerza a acostumbrarte, te corta el hilo. Revelando la real naturaleza del amor y la vida en general. Una obra maestra de Hiromi Kawakami, nada más que decir.

I had made a comment on one of my “progress updates” saying that I hoped Sensei and Tsukiko stayed friends. Even as they formed a romantic relationship, their friendship was at the heart of it all. This book was a touching story of love set in a both normal and whimsical world. Kawakami’s writing is both dry and sweet, and left me chuckling and tearing up.

a very simple love story of a woman in her 30s and her former teacher in high school. i find this novel quite.. relaxing? a very light reading perfect for a gloomy rainy day while sipping on your coffee.
although at first i was like “meh” with the age difference between the two main characters but as the story goes, i feel like age is just a number after all and love towards someone could developed because of something as simple as spending time together a lot in a bar getting drunk.
