About This Book
Banana Yoshimoto's depiction of the lives of Japanese youth has changed her
country's literature and earned international acclaim. In Hardboiled & Hard
Luck, this internationally best-selling author delivers two tales of resonant
grace, of young women coming to terms with change and heartbreak. In
"Hardboiled," the narrator is hiking in the mountains on an anniversary she has
forgotten about, the anniversary of her ex-lover's death. As she nears her
hotel, a sense of haunting falls over her. That night she dreams of her
ex-lover, and is visited by a woman who may not exist-perhaps these eerie events
will help her make peace with her loss. "Hard Luck" features a young woman whose
sister is dying and lies in a coma. Her fiance left her after the accident, but
his brother continues to visit, and as the two of them make peace with the
impending loss of their loved one, they seem to find new hope for the future in
their own new bond. Hardboiled & Hard Luck is a small jewel of a book, a work of
resilient sweetness that will move readers deeply.
