A review by memoirsofra
Lizard by Banana Yoshimoto

5.0

this book is a collection of short stories that tell about people; their struggles, relationships, and moments of self discovery.

divided into six stories, each with its own unique storyline. even though the language used in this book is quite simple, yoshimoto expressed deep emotions and explores profound meanings, making readers think about the complexities of life. the stories are relatable and depict both the happiness and sadness of everyday life, leaving a lasting impact on readers even after they have finished the book.

if there's one more thing to note, it could be that some stories have a little bit of ambiguity element. some readers might prefer clearer ending, but it doesn't really affect the overall enjoyment of the book.
