This book is an important read for kind souls everywhere. More so now than ever before I’ve felt lost and far away from myself. Jenny always brings me home. She’s sweet and wild and warm and honest and when I cry on the pages we cry together. It’s also a breeze to read between the 10 pages of Proust I can hardly handle per day.

This surreal and existential Japanese novella packs a sensory punch that will leave you wanting more.
Oyamada crafts an eerie and frightening exploration into loneliness and the many holes it casts us into. We follow our dazed and dreaming narrator Asa who has just dutifully joined her emotionally distant husband back in his small hometown, where the cicadas drone like fighter jets and mysterious animals slink the streets at night. We join her as she tries to parse through her new reality, be it factual or a series of anomalies.
This one is for everyone who has ever felt like a stranger in their own life, and pairs amazingly with sidewalk cafes and springtime.

Have a few pages left but it’s already wowed me. Heartbreaking book. Not heartbreaking in just a depressing way, I mean heartbreaking in that it fills you the warmth of love and life before it takes it away. But how thrilling to get to feel it all. Also can tell the author thinks a lot about how language can shape thought and emotion, which maybe all writers do, but he writes about it beautifully. Also I didn’t mean for that pic to look that sick and influencer-y I promise I just set the book down and clicked

It’s like you get a whole second workday? not in some productivity-pilled way but my brain just forgets that we’ve worked all morning when I sit in a different space
