「私がこの世でいちばん好きな場所は台所だと思う―祖母の死、突然の奇妙な同居、不自然であり、自然な日常を、まっすぐな感覚で受けとめ人が死ぬことそして生きることを、世界が不思議な調和にみちていることを、淋しさと優しさの交錯の中であなたに語りかけ、国境も時もこえて読みつがれるロング・ベストセラー、待望の定本決定版。
“吉本ばなな”のすべてはここから始まった。」
The book that I've decided to read is Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. Yoshimoto is a wonderful author. Her writing style is simple, emotional, and rudimentary. I've already enjoyed some of her short stories in English (my favorite being Dreaming of Kimchee), and Japanese (ミイラ), so I hope to attempt to read her short novel Kitchen.
My current plan is to read about 10 pages a week, taking note of new vocabulary along the way.
