«El cel és blau, la terra blanca: Una història d'amor» is the novel by Hiromi Kawakami, published by Quaderns Crema in paperback (216 pages, in Catalan).
Tsukiko, 38, leads a solitary life until she runs into her former Japanese teacher at a tavern. Between them, a tacit pact to share their loneliness takes shape: they choose the same dishes and seek each other's company. Kawakami portrays with sensual, sober prose the slow coming-together of two lonely people.
Part of the Biblioteca Mínima collection (volume 177), translated from Japanese into Catalan by Marina Bornas Montaña. Winner of the Tanizaki Prize.
