Der arbejder fire personer i Nakanos genbrugsbutik. Der er hr. Nakano selv, den excentriske butiksejer med det udsvævende kærlighedsliv, hans kunstneriske storesøster Masayo og de to unge butiksmedarbejdere, den stille mand Takeo og den socialt akavede kvinde Hitomi. Omringet af genstande forsøger disse fire mennesker ihærdigt at komme hinanden nærmere. Hitomi forelsker sig i Takeo og søger råd hos Masayo, der udfærdiger en mildt sagt ukonventionel kærlighedsguide. Langsomt går det op for Hitomi, at kærlighed og begær kræver medfølelse, også over for både sagte og usagte hemmeligheder. Samtidig bevæger de mange brugte ting sig gennem butikken – alle genstande, som gemmer på lige så mange historier, glæder og smerter som de mennesker, hvis hænder de besøger. Hiromi Kawakami (f. 1958) er en af Japans mest elskede nulevende forfattere med en lang række romaner og novellesamlinger bag sig. På dansk er der udkommet romanerne Senseis mappe (2013) og Kvinden ved havet (2016) samt novellaerne At træde på en slange & Forsvindinger (2019). Hun har modtaget flere af Japans største litteraturpriser for sit forfatterskab og er blevet nomineret til priser som Man Asian Literary Prize og Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

SOFT SKULL

Nominated for the 2021 Shirley Jackson Award From the author of the internationally bestselling Strange Weather in Tokyo, a collection of interlinking stories that masterfully blend the mundane and the mythical--"fairy tales in the best Brothers Grimm tradition: na f, magical, and frequently veering into the macabre" (Financial Times). A bossy child who lives under a white cloth near a tree; a schoolgirl who keeps doll's brains in a desk drawer; an old man with two shadows, one docile and one rebellious; a diplomat no one has ever seen who goes fishing at an artificial lake no one has ever heard of. These are some of the inhabitants of People from My Neighborhood. In their lives, details of the local and everyday--the lunch menu at a tiny drinking place called the Love, the color and shape of the roof of the tax office--slip into accounts of duels, prophetic dreams, revolutions, and visitations from ghosts and gods. In twenty-six "palm of the hand" stories--fictions small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand and brief enough to allow for dipping in and out--Hiromi Kawakami creates a universe ruled by mystery and transformation.

'The interlinking short stories in this collection are fairy tales in the best Brothers Grimm tradition: naïf, magical and frequently veering into the macabre' Financial Times From the best-selling author of Strange Weather in Tokyo, here is a collection of darkly playful Japanese micro-fiction. In Kawakami's super short 'palm of the hand' stories the world is never quite as it should be: a small child lives under a sheet near his neighbour's house for thirty years; an apartment block leaves its visitors with strange afflictions, from fast-growing beards to an ability to channel the voices of the dead; an old man has two shadows, one docile, the other rebellious; two girls named Yoko are locked in a bitter rivalry to the death. Small but mighty, you'll find strange delight in spending time with the people in this neighbourhood. 'Offers a delicious combination of intrigue, magic and comedy, like an unusual but satisfying snack. Kawakami continues to show off her prowess as a sharp-witted writer with a keen eye for the unexplored mysteries of humanity' Japan Times

Jag har fortfarande svårt att fånga vad det var som var så speciellt. När jag försöker greppa det försvinner det. När jag tror att det har försvunnit dyker det upp igen. Senseis portfölj är en stillsam och charmig berättelse om ett möte mellan två ensamma människor i Tokyo: kontorsarbetaren Tsukiko och hennes trettio år äldre före detta lärare. Tsukiko är 38 år och lever ensam. Hennes liv har kanske inte riktigt blivit som hon tänkt sig: hon har få vänner, träffar sällan sin familj, börjar bli uppgiven om att någonsin träffa någon. Och så dricker hon kanske lite för mycket. En kväll stöter hon på sin gamla japanskalärare från gymnasiet på den lokala sake-baren, dit hon ofta går. Eftersom hon inte kan minnas hans namn gör hon som i skolan och kallar honom vid det formella tilltalsnamnet Sensei ("magistern"). Efter detta första möte fortsätter de två att träffas på olika restauranger och barer, där de äter sig igenom det japanska köker, dricker sake och konverserar. Och medan årstiderna passerar förbi mellan raderna -- från vårens körsbärsblom till den heta sommarens iskalla ölflaskor, till höstens svampexkursioner växer sig bandet mellan dem allt starkare. Till något svårdefinierat, starkt, livsomvälvande. HIROMI KAWAKAMI är född 1958 i Tokyo. Hon är en populär författare i Japan, där hennes författarskap också är flerfaldigt prisbelönt, bland annat med det prestigefyllda Akutagawa-priset. För Senseis portfölj tilldelades hon Tanizaki-priset. Den har blivit både film och mangaserie och översatts till över 20 språk.

Så den store fuglen ikke tar deg
I en fjern fremtid hvor menneskeheten står på randen av utryddelse, iverksettes et desperat, verdensomspennende prosjekt: For å stimulere fremveksten av nye menneskeslag isoleres verdens befolkninger og forhindres i å ha kontakt med hverandre. Så den store fuglen ikke tar deg er en grenseløst ambisiøs og samtidig forbausende jordnær roman der Hiromi Kawakami på sitt urokkelig stillfarne vis utfordrer ideen om en menneskehet i evig vekst. Ulike fortellerstemmer veves sammen og viser oss en uoversiktlig fremtid der menneskeheten må forsone seg med å ikke lenger være naturens midtpunkt.

Beguiling and beautiful' The Times Over the course of his life, Mr Nishino falls hopelessly in love again and again. One woman is a colleague, another a chance encounter; one is the girlfriend of a classmate, another the best friend of Nishino's latest conquest. Some are entranced by Nishino, others care more for their freedom, their children (or their cats). As we come to learn of the torments, desires and delights of each woman, a portrait emerges of a complicated man whose great capacity for love may well be the cause of his downfall.

Herr Nakanos forretning for avlagte gjenstander
Bruktforretningen minner om alle andre bruktforretninger i de smale forstadsgatene i Tokyo: Alle tingene i hyllene har en historie, men ingen kjenner historien lenger. Det er på samme måte med menneskene som kommer hit. Fortelleren Hitomi for eksempel, som hadde kommet til forretningen på jakt etter en jobb som ga henne akkurat nok inntekt til å overleve uten å måtte jobbe for mye. Herr Nakano selv, brukthandleren med alle ekskonene og sin gudegitte evne til å prute. Nakanos gåtefulle søster, kunstneren Masayo. Eller Takeo - den mutte og megetsigende hjelpemannen som Hitomi syns det er stadig vanskeligere ikke å tenke på. I herr Nakanos forretning føres gjenstander, mennesker og hendelser sammen på overraskende måter - som gir oss et nytt blikk på verden, kjærligheten og livet. Eller som herr Nakano selv pleier å si det, når han skal forklare hemmeligheten bak en god bruktforretning: «Folk kjøper ting fordi de er ubrukelige.»

Tsukiko on 38-vuotias, hän työskentelee toimistossa Tokion keskustassa, asuu yksin, töiden jälkeen käy baarissa yksin. Sitten eräänä iltana kantapaikassa on hänen entinen opettajansa. Sensei on ainakin 30 vuotta vanhempi, eläkkeellä, varmaan jo leski. Tuon ensimmäisen illan jälkeen he tapaavat uudelleen, ja taas uudelleen. He jakavat annoksen edamamea, kimchiä, sashimia, mustekalaa. He juovat kannuittain sakea ja olutta, kirjoittavat haikuja, keräävät metsäsieniä kukkuloilla. Hyvin hitaasti ja empien suhde kasvaa rakkaudeksi, jota kuitenkin varjostaa se minkä molemmat tietävät mutteivät voi sanoa. Sensein aika täällä on paljon lyhyempi kuin Tsukikon. Sensein salkku on suloisen surumielinen, oikullinen rakkaustarina, joka sijoittuu 2000-luvun Tokioon.
El Cielo Es Azul, La Tierra Blanca /The Briefcase Aka Strange Weather in Tokyo
La gran novela Japonesa ganadora del Premio Tanizaki, el m s prestigioso de la Literatura Japonesa. Tremendamente po tica, la historia ejerce un sensual y magn tico poder sobre el lector. Espl ndida. Ram n Clavijo, Diario de Jerez El cielo es azul, la tierra blanca es una de las historias de amor m s bellas que he le do en mi vida. No me refiero a uno de esos amores cursis y pretenciosos que proliferan tanto en cierto tipo de libros, sino a algo mucho m s profundo y real, la lenta y s lida relaci n de dos seres solitarios, necesitados el uno del otro, capaces de encontrar la ternura y de compartirla con el amado en medio de los m s peque os gestos cotidianos, comer, beber, dar un paseo, sentarse junto a una ventana en la oscuridad... Y narrado de una manera tan delicada, tan justa, que parece un pedazo devida real -quiz lo sea- pintado en un lienzo y ofrecido a nuestros ojos para ayudarnos a ser m s sabios. L anlo y disfruten. ngeles caso, La Vanguardia Tsukiko, la protagonista de la novela, ya tiene guardado un lugar de honor en ese hipot tico limbo de los personajes femeninos m s destacables de la literatura moderna. Manu Gonz lez, Qu Leer Una autora de culto. La japonesa es una reina en el dif cil arte de golpear al lector sin hacer ruido. Eugenio Fuentes, La Opini n de A Coru a Leer a Kawakami es como darse un ba o de agua tibia. Lo m s importante es el homenaje que se rinde a la melancol a, o a la imposibilidad o, mejor a n, a este estado de indefinici n -prerreflexivo- podr amos decir en el que habitualmente nos movemos los humanos. Pablo D'Ors, ABC Con la delicadeza con la que florecen los cerezos y la hermosa naturalidad de un haiku, los protagonistas van trenzando una relaci n amorosa que desaf a convenciones. Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia Lo que Hiromi Kawakami cuenta es tan carnal, hermoso y estimulante para el lector que no exige ser m s expl cita. Su misterio radica en el extraordinario poder alusivo de la escritura, legado de los grandes artistas de la narrativa japonesa moderna. Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia El relato transcurre como un viento templado a trav s de una mosquitera. Posee algo as como el encantamiento de una cantinela. De una rayuela. Uno salta del cielo a la tierra, a la pata coja, con un vaso de sake en la mano, con el coraz n sin embargo atormentado, al final, ba ado de tanta esperanza. Fran ois Simon, Le Figaro litt raire La prosa de Kawakami bien puede definirse como cristalina: est construida con la precisi n hermosa y reticular, perfectamente conectada, de un cristal. Ciro Garc a, El Norte de Castilla Sutileza y delicadeza, una prosa detallada que describe a conciencia las marcas del alma. Un viaje literariamente sugestivo. Pere Guix , El Pa s Hiromi Kawakami: las cosas sencillas son melanc licas. Bellamente melanc licas, como el sol que derrite la nieve, sin dejar huella de ella. H ctor Abad Faciolince El estilo de Kawakami es de una gran finura narrativa, de una delicadeza que roza la poes a, pero en la que tambi n caben la oscuridad, el dolor y el desgarro. Elena Sierra, El Correo ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The great Japanese novel, winner of the Tanizaki Prize, the most prestigious of Japanese Literature. Tsukiko, thirty-eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei" in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him "Sensei" ("Teacher"). He is thirty years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship, traced by Kawakami's gentle hints at the changing seasons, develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to an enjoyable sense of companionship, and finally into a deeply sentimental love affair. As Tsukiko and Sensei grow to know and love one another, time's passing comes across through the seasons and the food and beverages they consume together. From warm sake to chilled beer, from the buds on the trees to the blooming of the cherry blossoms, the reader is enveloped by a keen sense of pathos and both characters' keen loneliness.

From the bestselling author of Strange Weather in Tokyo, here is a story of treasure hoarders, bargain hunters and would-be lovers. Among the jumble of paperweights, plates, typewriters and general bric-a-brac in Mr Nakano's thrift store, there are treasures to be found. Each piece carries its own story of love and loss - or so it seems to Hitomi, when she takes a job there. And her fellow employees are just as curious as the items they sell. There's the store's owner, Mr Nakano, an enigmatic ladies' man with several ex-wives; Sakiko, his sensuous, unreadable lover; his sister, Masayo, an artist whose free-spirited creations mask hidden sorrows. And finally there's Hitomi's fellow employee, Takeo, whose abrupt and taciturn manner Hitomi finds, to her consternation, increasingly disarming. A beguiling story of love found amid odds and ends, The Nakano Thrift Shop is a heart-warming and utterly charming novel from one of Japan's most celebrated contemporary novelists.

Sensual, yearning, and filled with the tricks of memory and grief, Record of a Night Too Brief is an atmospheric trio of unforgettable tales.
