Story
Mikage is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, Mikage is taken in by her friend, Yoichi, and his mother (who is really his cross-dressing father), Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale with the kitchen and the comforts of home at its heart.

Story
First published in Japan in 2003, Dead-End Memories collects the stories of five women who, following sudden and painful events, quietly discover their ways back to recovery. Yoshimoto's gentle, effortless prose reminds us that one true miracle can be as simple as having someone to share a meal with, and that happiness is always within us if only we take a moment to pause and reflect. Discover this collection of what Yoshimoto herself calls the "most precious work of my writing career."

Story
Yoshie's much-loved musician father died in a suicide pact with an unknown woman. It is only when Yoshie and her mother move to Shimokitazawa, a traditional Tokyo neighborhood of narrow streets, quirky shops, and friendly residents, that they can finally start to put their painful past behind them. However, despite their attempts to move forward, Yoshie is haunted by nightmares in which her father is looking for the phone he left behind on the day he died, or on which she is trying—unsuccessfully—to call him. Is her dead father trying to communicate a message through these dreams?

Story
Dopo aver perso il padre in quello che ha tutta l'aria di essere stato un doppio suicidio d'amore, Yoshie si trasferisce dalla sua casa di Meguro a un minuscolo e vecchio appartamento a Shimokitazawa, un quartiere di Tokyo famoso per le sue stradine chiuse al traffico, i ristoranti, i negozietti, nonché meta degli alternativi della capitale. Qui Yoshie spera, aiutata dall'atmosfera vivace, di superare il dolore e dare una nuova direzione alla sua vita. Un giorno, però, sua madre le si presenta a casa all'improvviso con una borsa Birkin di Hermès e qualche sacchetto.

Story
"Non c'è posto al mondo che io ami di più della cucina". Così comincia il romanzo di Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen. Le cucine, nuovissime e luccicanti o vecchie e vissute, riempiono i sogni della protagonista Mikage, rimasta sola al mondo dopo la morte della nonna, e rappresentano il calore di una famiglia sempre desiderata. Ma la famiglia si può non solo scegliere, ma anche inventare. Così il padre del giovane amico Yuichi può diventare o rivelarsi madre e Mikage può eleggerli come propria famiglia, in un crescendo tragicomico di ambiguità.

Un viaggio, per quanto terribile possa essere, nel ricordo si trasforma in qualcosa di meraviglioso. La vita è un viaggio, e come tutti i viaggi si compone di ricordi. In questo audiolibro, Banana Yoshimoto raccoglie preziosi frammenti di memoria e ci porta con sé, lontano nel tempo e nel mondo. Dalle emozioni del primo amore alla scoperta della maternità, dalle piramidi egiziane alla Tokyo degli anni settanta.

Story
Cosa significa tradire? Come si tradisce? Il tradimento ha per tutti lo stesso significato? Banana Yoshimoto, più che dare risposte, disegna paesaggi emotivi che delineano i confini di uno degli aspetti più dolorosi ed enigmatici del vivere. Chi tradisce? La fanciulla che ha una relazione con un uomo sposato o la moglie ingannata che, consapevole dell'affaire, mente annunciandole la morte dell'amante? Chi si sente più tradito?

Story
"Al mattino la superficie del fiume splende come se migliaia di fogli d'oro stropicciati scorressero sull'acqua." Sei bozzoli di preziosa seta esistenziale. Sei fili tesi dal destino. Sei racconti intorno al tempo, alla guarigione, al fato. Sei racconti tessuti in una Tokyo sfolgorante di luci notturne e pulsante di vita. Tutti feriti, chi da un trauma infantile, chi da un abbandono, chi da una storia d'amore tormentata, i protagonisti si sono chiusi in un guscio che li protegge ma insieme li separa dal mondo.
