Synopsis "Kitchen (in Spanish)"

Una fábula sobre la soledad, el amor y los lazos inesperados que surgen en torno a una cocina.

A la muerte de su abuela, la jovencísima Mikage se queda sola en una casa demasiado grande y se refugia en la cocina. Pero, un día, un amable muchacho llama a su puerta y le sugiere que se vaya a vivir con él y con su madre, Eriko. Sin embargo, esta hermosa y acogedora mujer no es en realidad quien parece ser. En esta fábula, que se desarrolla entre ordenadores, electrodomésticos y sobre todo alimentos y guisos, pero también entre sentimientos de amor y amistad, la soledad y la aridez emocional quedan mitigadas por la inmensa sabiduría de otro mundo ancestral, afortunadamente aún latente.

Banana Yoshimoto (Tokyo, 1964) studied literature at Nihon University. With Kitchen, her first novel, she won the Newcomer Writers Prize in 1987, while she was still a university student, and a year later she was awarded the Izumi Kyoka Literary Prize for the same work. Among other awards, she has received the prestigious Scanno Award in Italy. Yoshimoto is already the author of an extensive but exquisite body of work consisting of essays, novels like N.P., Amrita, and Tsugumi, and storybooks such as Deep Sleep, Memories of a Dead-End Street, and Lizard. Since 1991, the year Tusquets Editores published Kitchen, Yoshimoto has become, along with Haruki Murakami, one of the most prestigious voices in contemporary Japanese literature.
