A modern Japanese classic and international phenomenon — Banana Yoshimoto's luminous debut, in a special 30th anniversary edition.
Kitchen weaves together two tender, quietly radical tales of love, loss and found family in contemporary Japan — stories of mothers, grief, transformation and the strange comfort of kitchens. At its heart is a young woman who, orphaned and adrift, finds unexpected solace in cooking and in the warmth of an unconventional household.
When it was first published in 1987, Kitchen won two of Japan's most prestigious literary prizes, topped the bestseller lists for over a year and sold millions of copies, earning Yoshimoto acclaim as "the voice of young Japan." Spare, dreamlike and deeply moving, it remains a beloved touchstone of modern world literature.
Perfect for fans of gentle, heartfelt Japanese fiction.
