« Qué será el amor? Las personas tienen derecho a enamorarse de otros, no a que los demás las amen. Todas han amado a Nishino. Todas han sucumbido, aunque solo sea durante una hora, a ese hombre seductor, imprudente y salvaje como un gato, que se inmiscuÃa de manera natural en la vida de las mujeres a las que deseaba conquistar. Pero quién era Nishino? Ellas, que guardan en la memoria el vivo recuerdo de su cálido aliento, de sus silencios indescifrables y sus gestos de indiferencia, toman la palabra para recrear la figura llena de encanto de un hombre conmovedor e inalcanzable. Y, a través de este retrato, también revelan quiénes son ellas mismas. Sus testimonios son variaciones llenas de humor, sensualidad, inteligencia y melancolÃa sobre ese extraño sentimiento llamado amor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner 2020 Pen Translation Prize
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 . . . Praise for The Ten Loves of Nishino Agile, inventive fiction. --Booklist An intriguing portrayal of romantic attachment. --The New Yorker The women in this collection are vibrant, lusty, and clearly the agents of their own love lives . . . . Kawakami's novel treats its feminist themes with a light hand but still slyly lands its points. --Kirkus Reviews If you like Haruki Murakami and Yoko Ogawa, it's a safe bet that you'll love The Ten Loves of Nishino. --DozoDomo (France)
