A review by ribbles
Lizard by Banana Yoshimoto

3.0

While the collection--like most volumes of short stories--was a mixed bag, I still enjoyed it. Ms. Yoshimoto's writing is somehow both simple and lush, and the tenor of her stories reminded me very much of Wong Kar-Wai's "Chungking Express" in tone (yes, I know WKW is not from Japan).
