Asleep

By Banana Yoshimoto

Each of the three chapters in this book tells the story of a woman and her particular experience with sleep, or a kind of sleep (spiritual or physical). The power of the stories is in Yoshimoto's literary style - surreal and simple. Yoshimoto has a unique way of writing from a very internal location within her characters which enables you to connect with them. This exploration was interesting and thought provoking.

I look forward to reading more of this extremely talented writer and hopefully finding language to explain her unique and compelling writing style.
