Description
A mysterious man, Mr. Nishino, drifts into the lives of ten women—each encounter brief, seductive, and impossible to fully explain. As they try to reconstruct who he truly was, their stories unfold in shifting, intimate perspectives that blur the line between memory and invention. With humor, restraint, and a quietly sensual intelligence, the novel explores how love reshapes identity, how longing can be both playful and painful, and how we tell ourselves stories to make sense of what we can’t hold. In the tradition of Kawakami’s elegant, offbeat style—where everyday life meets the uncanny—this is a charming, bittersweet meditation on desire, selfhood, and the many faces of attachment.
