A set of writings, the main body being a strange, winding, labyrinth tale. It felt a little like a dark Alice in wonderland. I truly love Yoshida’s poetic style and use of form as a storytelling device. A short and satisfying read

Spring Sleepers is a deliriously deceptive read. And one that constantly made me question whether the main protagonist was actually; asleep, dreaming or a totally wired awake insomniac that we’re lead to believe.
Either way, Yoshida certainly offers up an interesting take on the ways of the modern world -particularly hustle culture. But, as with the previous Japanese short from the series, this was way to short to have a lasting impact.
Feverish yet forgettable.

A potential reread so I can push a bit more for the rating. But for now, nope this one is not for me unfortunately.
