The Ten Loves of Nishino - Hiromi Kawakami

The Ten Loves of Nishino

By Hiromi Kawakami

  • Release Date: 2019-06-04
  • Genre: Literary Fiction

The story of an enigmatic man through the voices of ten remarkable women who have loved him at one point in their lives.

Each woman has succumbed, even if only for an hour, to that seductive, imprudent, and furtively feline man who drifted so naturally into their lives. Still clinging to the vivid memory of his warm breath and his indecipherable sentences, ten women tell their stories as they attempt to recreate the image of the unfathomable Nishino.

Like a modern Decameron, this humorous, sensual, and touching novel by one of Japan’s best-selling and most beloved writers is a powerful and embracing portrait of the human comedy in ten voices. Driven by desires that are at once unique and common, the women in this book are modern, familiar to us, and still mysterious. A little like Nishino himself . . .

Winner 2020 Pen Translation Prize
