Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami

Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami

Makiko comes to Tokyo from Osaka to price breast implants. Her twelve-year-old daughter Midoriko has stopped speaking and communicates only through a notebook. Natsuko, the aunt they are staying with, is a writer who has published almost nothing.

The second half jumps eight years. Natsuko is nearly forty, has no interest in sex at all, and wants a child — which in Japan means a system built entirely around married couples. Kawakami writes poverty, class and the female body with a bluntness that caused an argument in Japan when it was published.

The novel that made Kawakami internationally known, and one of the most important recent works in Japanese fiction.
