Kitchen

Kitchen juxtapose deux contes sur les mères, la transsexualité, le deuil, les cuisines, l'amour et la tragédie dans le Japon contemporain. C'est une première œuvre étonnamment originale de la plus brillante jeune star littéraire du Japon et c'est maintenant un film culte.
When Kitchen was first published in Japan in 1987 it won two of Japan’s most prestigious literary prizes, climbed its way to the top of the bestseller lists, then remained there for over a year and sold millions of copies. Banana Yoshimoto was hailed as a young writer of great talent and great passion whose work has quickly earned a place among the best of modern literature, and has been described as ‘the voice of young Japan’ by the Independent on Sunday.
