About Kitchen When Kitchen was first published in Japan (1987) it won two of the country’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. Banana Yoshimoto was hailed as a young writer of great talent and great passion whose work has quickly earned a place among the best of modern literature, and has been described as ‘the voice of young Japan’ by the Independent on Sunday. Kitchen juxtaposes two tales about mothers, transsexuality, bereavement, kitchens, love and tragedy in contemporary Japan. ‘Lucid, earnest and disarming.’ New York Times ‘A perfect jewel of a novel.’ Lena Dunham
