A review by mcnan
Dragon Palace by Hiromi Kawakami

dark funny mysterious reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

 A strong voice and mystical prose tell absurdist stories that I'm at max 70% sure what they really mean. This is one of those collections that is difficult to give a rating to but I have a feeling I'll be comparing other things to some of these stories, which is good for something right? If you liked "Beau is Afraid" you might like this, take that information as you may. 

Stand-outs were Mole, Sea Horse , and The Kitchen God. A strange collection overall.
