«Lucertola» is Banana Yoshimoto's short story collection, published by Feltrinelli in 2008 in paperback (128 pages, in Italian).
Six stories set in a nocturnal, luminous Tokyo follow people who, wounded, have taken refuge in a shell that isolates them from the world. When forgotten sensations return to memory, stagnant life resumes and the characters must face the past to free themselves.
The volume belongs to Feltrinelli's Universale economica collection (no. 1421) and includes the translation from Japanese by Giorgio Amitrano; the original work, Tokage, was published in 1993.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Japanese literature seeking short stories with emotional weight.
Banana Yoshimoto is the pen name of Japanese writer Mahoko Yoshimoto . From 2002 to 2015, she wrote her name in hiragana.
