Synopsis "N.P (in Spanish)"

Kazami, joven estudiosa de literatura, investiga el misterio que rodea a un libro de cuentos titulado N.P. Su autor, Tekase, que escribia en ingles, paso gran parte de su vida en Estados unidos y se suicido a los cuarenta y ocho anos, dejando dos hijos. Cuando Kazami conoce a estos, detecta de inmediato una estela de locura en los ojos de esos hermanos tiernamente incestuosos. Pero otra muchacha obsesionada por ese mismo libro se cruzara en el camino de Kazami. / A Japanese writer has committed suicide, leaving behind stories written in English, N.P. A translator, Kazami, is drawn to three people whose lives are bound to the late writer and his work. Soon she will discover the truth behind the ninety-eighth story, and she will come to believe that everything that had happened was shockingly beautiful enough to make you crazy.

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.
