Goodbye Tsugumi by Banana YoshimotoMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Banana Yoshimoto is always a pleasure to read. This story was less surreal than some, but the tone was fittingly nostalgic throughout.
Tsugumi is a frail girl who is constantly sick. So she is constantly looked after and, in part due to this, in part probably because she feels helpless, she acts spoiled and entitled. However, you quickly realize there's more to her than that. At least, the narrator does.
Regardless, an excellent read. Among my favorite Yoshimoto stories.
