A Once-Perfect Day For Bananafish by Mieko Kawakami

2.0

Mieko Kawakami is one of the new strong names in Japanese Literature right now. And this short read is proof of her mastery of words, her usage of magical realism, and the emotions.

For a short novella, it offers a lot of things to think about, as the author provides an emotional journey of a dying woman thinking of a trip to the beach on a summer day.
