Ten Loves of Nishino

The Ten Loves of Nishino / Hiromi Kawakami, trans. Alison Markin Powell, 172 p.

Nishino's story is told through the eyes of ten of his lovers.  A gentle and good-natured Lothario, he never comes entirely into focus, but it's an interesting reading exercise to try to see him.  More intriguing is the space he occupies, always temporarily, in the lives of these ten women.  Odd, sensual, and intriguing.
