The HOLE - Hiroko oyamada - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This surreal and existential Japanese novella packs a sensory punch that will leave you wanting more. Oyamada crafts an eerie and frightening exploration into loneliness and the many holes it casts us into. We follow our dazed and dreaming narrator Asa who has just dutifully joined her emotionally distant husband back in his small hometown, where the cicadas drone like fighter jets and mysterious animals slink the streets at night. We join her as she tries to parse through her new reality, be it factual or a series of anomalies. This one is for everyone who has ever felt like a stranger in their own life, and pairs amazingly with sidewalk cafes and springtime.

Kitchen - Banana Yoshimoto

Beautiful (and quick) read - two short stories about loss and all it engenders in our lives. Heartwarming, funny, and magical, this book brought me answers to questions I didn’t know I had and closure I didn’t know I needed - I am attaching one of my favorite passages here, it served as a sweet and gentle reminder to appreciate the past, surrender to the present, and that tomorrow is not promised… #ouroboros #style

The mall

I love the mall, I feel serene there. I like to sit quietly in the food court or just wander around. It’s very calming. I like that I can go into a store but I don’t have to. I can just be there, I can have a treat. The temperature is always good.

I’ve spent so much time in this world that it feels like my hometown now. I know who’s around every corner, I know where I can go to be alone

Her record from 2020. Underrated. Some really brilliant moments. The lyrics are bonkers I love it
