Amrita / Banana Yoshimoto : 3 of 5
6.21.2000
12:30 AM | Link
I started reading Banana Yoshimoto when I was with a friend in a bookstore who pointed out Kitchen to me. It was a small book with a cute cover, so I gave it a try. In the next few months, I had read everything Banana I could get my hands on. Amrita is much longer than her other novels, and far more rambling actually, but in a way, that's what makes it so beautiful. In some ways it's like poetry, and in other ways it's like a Raymond Carver story that never ends. You can't help but feeling it's a diary you're reading, which is probably why I loved it.
