Asleep/Sonno profondo by Banana Yoshimoto

Hi Guys, today I want to talk about a very interesting book: "Asleep" by Banana Yoshimoto

Previously, I told you that I would have spoken again of B. Yoshimoto (click here), now we analyze this book.

This work is very particular, it tells the stories of three women who are in a state of "morbid stillness", waiting for something to blow them up, they are paralyzed, immobilized in their own lives that do not satisfy them.

N.P., by Banana Yoshimoto

Hi guys, today I want to talk about a very nice and intriguing book, N.P. by Banana Yoshimoto.

The book tells the story of a writer Sarao Takase who writes a book of 100 stories titled N.P., but before publishing the work, Takase dies suicide by writing only 97 stories.

The story tells the events of two twin sisters, a girl named Kazami and her boyfriend, who also died suicide by working on the book of Takase. It seems that around this novel lies a kind of "malediction".
