Asleep by Banana Yoshimoto

I didn't enjoy this book as much as Kitchen, which is one of my all time favourites, but it was still interesting and probably needs another read with some more thought behind it.

każde następne opowiadanie było super! fakt że w każdym z nich można było czuć senność i nostalgię even… only a woman could write a masterpiece like that

This was such a little weird book. The writing style makes you feel like you're floating around on a cloud. However, as much as it was a interesting reading experience, I didn't like the open-endings, plus I couldn't get into the stories since the writing felt quite disconnected and dry(?). 

Idk, it didn't feel like a waste of my time but also I don't have any feelings whatsoever about it either.
