By ?the city and the dogs? among other recognitions. Along with Murakami, another young writer of the new Japanese big wave has obtained full an international success. Other books of the same author are; Kitchen (Fable), N.P and Amrita. The spiritualism of the orient culture and the pragmatism of the West that the writer shapes in her writings agree of brutal way, perhaps to that the secret of success of their books. the writing of Yoshimoto is gracious, deep and charmer, so subtle emotionally than Jane Smiley, so heavy and fluid than Anne Tyler. Is the history of three young people who are living in a very difficult period, three personal, analytical histories that crumble and discover troubles that they jump at sight when everything leaves bad, chaotic is the daily thing and all seem to fall in a deep labyrinth of which they can never return. A world filled mysteriously, sometimes personages seem reels, other times not but most of the times without being able to identify. Figures of previous times that suddenly is in the present and make real, or that seems at least. They take part in all the simple activities and decisions of these three young people. Terako is one of those three people, enamored with the man who never wanted him, but who abused of her and that never desires to commit himself with her.Her history is confused but for this personage everything seems sure everything seems to have its own scope and lives outside as if happy. More clear things for this personage cannot exist. The deceit becomes truth. Everything seems logical and seems not to create conflict to him. Fumi-chan, feminine personage, unemployed, drinks all the nights gin and tonic and faces an alcoholism of which it is not allows but that it produces tranquilizer to her. She alvays regrets to drink so much, but she almost always gives to an upset the heart him when discovering, suddenly, the empty bottle. When collapsing in the always stunned bed melody listens to one and thinks that it's the pillow that is singing and whispering things to him to sing to sleep her. One faces the solitude that leaves him almost immovable, paraplegic, without being able to react before the facts. This melody, that finally its friend and loving Mezzo says to him that it is common that the spirits select to alive people who are spirit's alcoholic then, that oscillates between the conscience and the spoor to divulge important secrets, to request aid, to give advice to ask for advice to be able to rest peacefully. In the end, that stranger melody will help her to leave out her problems and potential alcoholism. On the other side, Shibami, in the part of the night and the travelers at night revive and returns in own and very painful experiences the misfortune of the two women whom they loved Yoshikiro as their brother just before he is dead. Identification or negation? Perhaps it envies because the love for him is difficult to understand. He knows The single answer but the investigation can go beyond of its forces
