Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is a collection of 10 short stories set in Sheffield and/or by Sheffield authors, I'm not sure of the rules. The only author I was familiar with was Banana Yoshimoto. The stories are short, diverse and strange. ( ) What I thought would be a finger-licking good anthology turned out to be at times just what I wanted and occasionally almost seppuku-inducing. Hideo Furukawa continues to perplex me in uncomfortable ways. Hitomi Kanehara and Osamu Hashimoto and several other authors nearly unknown outside of Japan offer an uneven and rather concerning series of gritty episodes. But the shining lights of this edition are Banana Yoshimoto, Hiromi Kawakami and Shuichi Yoshida. These are some of their best stories in English to date and the whole reason I picked up this book. Yoshida in particular is uncannily good and at this point criminally under-translated. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
