Lizard by Banana Yoshimoto

5.0

Banana Yoshimoto always delivers something I cannot find in works by any other author. There's a dreamy yet profound atmosphere around the stories she tells. This collection of stories, especially, isn't so much about the story as it is about the human experience. She has a great gift for getting emotion on paper, most of all the emotions we can't really put our finger on. Also, she doesn't judge. And that is pretty rare too.

I can't say I'll remember these stories very well. In fact, I've already forgotten the "plot" of most. But the overall experience was just phenomenal! Fleeting, but phenomenal.
