Description

- Kawakami is an author known and reviewed around the world
- Manazuru received great praise when Counterpoint released it in 2010; the book already has reviews by Booklist, the Paris Review Daily, the Independent, and Publishers Weekly.
- This is a reissue of a quiet, beloved novel by celebrated Japanese author, Hiromi Kawakami (the original 2012 Counterpoint edition was titled The Briefcase, 9781582435992)
- This reissue will coincide with Europa's publication of Kawakami's The Nakano Thrift Shop (9781609453992, June 2017) and Counterpoint's re-release of Strange Weather in Tokyo, another lauded Kawakami novel (9781640090163, August 2017)
- "[In Japan] we have something called 'palm-of-the-hand stories,' brief and strangely evocative pieces of fiction so short they might fit in your palm...conjuring an underlying, unseen world that lies beyond with just a brief description or a few words." -Hiromi Kawakami
- The two re-released novels complement each other: both are concise, poetic meditations on the cyclic patterns of loneliness and love—one protagonist is in the city, the other is on the seaside
- Translator Michael Emmerich was a Costen Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University

Ein schöner Schreibstil, der mir geholfen hat in die Geschichte zu kommen, die etwas verworren ist, aber immer wieder mit wunderschönen Momenten aufwartet.

„Manchmal war ich es müde zu leben. Von morgens bis abends rackerte ich mich ab, ohne es zu merken, ohne zu wissen, was mir Freude bereitete, was andere Menschen bewegte oder was mich selbst bewegte. Die Zeit verging und ich wurde müde.“
