A review by mandola
The Old Capital by Yasunari Kawabata

4.0

The writing is smooth and easy to read. Weirdly, I like how quite slow it is and how it does not really have a plot. It kind of reminds me of the feeling of Sally Rooney's writing style (especially in normal people.). While these two books have nothing in common in terms of plot, I like how they both realistically tackle difficult subjects. It's just another part of life and not an exciting story plot to be lived.
