Overview: With a photographer’s eye for detail and subtlety, Kuniko Mukōda’s wonderful stories vividly portray the personal strengths and sorrows of modern Japanese women. Each reveals an insightful glimpse into seemingly ordinary lives and what often lies just below the surface.
Over a dozen unsettling and eccentric stories chart the distances between men and women and between people and their memories of the past. Mixing startling visual details and plot twists with subtle changes of hue and texture, these tales of ordinary Japanese families offer vivid portraits of secret unhappiness and betrayal, of men trapped by obsession and insecurity, of women finding strength and sorrow in their ability to silently endure.
A satisfying blend of literary style and sharp observations on modern domestic life, this collection introduces the late Kuniko Mukōda as a sensitive writer with a calculating, mischievous intelligence.
