Amrita
'Entering Banana Yoshimoto's fictional world is a little like living as an expatriate in Tokyo--everyday things are disconcertingly different. The exotic lurks around every corner. . . . Amrita is difficult to forget.' --San Francisco ChronicleBanana Yoshimoto's warm, witty, and heartfelt depictions of the lives of young Japanese have earned her international acclaim and best-seller status, as well as a place among the best of contemporary Japanese literature. In Amrita, now in Grove Press paperback, when a celebrated actress dies under shocking circumstances, she leaves behind an older sister, Sakumi, who suffers from memory loss in the wake of an accident. Struggling to remember whom she loves and what she lost, Sakumi embarks on a unique emotional journey, accompanied by her dead sister's lover and her clairvoyant kid brother. In Amrita, Yoshimoto proves, once again, her prowess as an imaginative yet grounded storyteller as she takes Sakumi--and readers--on a compelling expedition

It is a startlingly original first work by Japan's brightest young literary star and is now a cult film. When Kitchen was first published in Japan in 1987 it won two of Japan's most prestigious literary prizes, climbed its way to the top of the bestseller lists, then remained there for over a year and sold millions of copies.
Kitchen
'Ms. Yoshimoto's writing is lucid, earnest and disarming. ... [It] seizes hold of the reader's sympathy and refuses to let go.' -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times With the publication of Kitchen, the dazzling English-language debut that is still her best-loved book, the literary world realized that Yoshimoto was a young writer of enduring talent whose work has quickly earned a place among the best of contemporary Japanese literature. Kitchen is an enchantingly original book that juxtaposes two tales about mothers, love, tragedy, and the power of the kitchen and home in the lives of a pair of free-spirited young women in contemporary Japan. Mikage, the heroine, is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, Mikage is taken in by her friend Yoichi and his mother (who is really his cross-dressing father) Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale with the kitchen and
The Art of Baron Yoshimoto
The Art of Baron Yoshimoto
Kitchen, Ljudbok
Den här japanska kultklassikern från 1987 finner ständigt nya läsare världen över. Kitchen -- vilket är titeln även på japanska -- handlar om ett par frisinnade människor i det urbana Japan på 80-talet. Den föräldralösa Mikage har växt upp med sin mormor, men när mormodern dör flyttar hon in hos sin vän Yoichi och hans mamma Eriko, en transkvinna som driver en nattklubb i Tokyo. De tre bildar en alldeles egen, improviserad familj och förenas i en passion för köket. Efter ett tag lämnar Mikage familjen för att ta jobb som assistent på en matlagningsskola, men när hon får veta att Eriko mördats på sin nattklubb försöker hon stötta sin vän Yoichi på bästa vis. Kitchen är en radikal berättelse som med sin alternativa syn på familjen utmanar bilden av Japan som ett konservativt och traditionsstyrt land. När den först gavs ut i Japan innebar den ett genombrott utan dess like för den debuterande författaren Banana Yoshimoto. Den vann två av Japans mest prestigefyllda litteraturpriser och sålde över en miljon exemplar bara under första året. Banana Yoshimoto (född 1964 i Tokyo), heter egentligen Mahoko Yoshimoto. Hon tog artistnamnet "Banana" eftersom hon älskar bananblommor. Kitchen har översatts till fler än 20 språk och även filmatiserats. Vibeke Emond är en av Sveriges mest ansedda översättare från japanska. Hon översatte Kitchen redan 1994 men har inför nyutgivningen reviderat sin egen översättning.
