Mild Vertigo

With shades of Clarice Lispector, Mavis Gallant and Lucy Ellman, this late-period novel by the esteemed novelist, essayist, and film and literary critic Mieko Kanai – whose often dark and cynical work occupies something of a cult place within the Japanese canon – is a disconcerting and astute portrait of life in late-stage capitalist society.

Cu nuante de Clarice Lispector, Mavis Gallant si Lucy Ellman, acest roman de sfarsit de perioada al stimatului romancier, eseist si critic de film si literar Mieko Kanai - a carui opera adesea intunecata si cinica ocupa un loc de cult in canonul japonez - este un portret deconcertant si perspicace al vietii in societatea capitalista de stadiu tarziu.
