"My favorite place in the whole world is probably the kitchen."
Acclaimed by Eastern and Western literary circles as a timeless classic. Translated and published in over thirty countries, with total sales exceeding six million copies.
First new edition and new translation.
"Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye since I started writing.
'Kitchen' is to me like the Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction.' A significant work that I never tire of playing, even a thousand times.
I hope you enjoy the new edition, and that a new generation of readers can experience it. —Banana Yoshimoto."
Since the initial publication of 'Kitchen' in 1988, Banana Yoshimoto instantly established her status as a bestselling contemporary Japanese author, sweeping the international literary scene. How does the girl in the book, who faces the sudden arrival of death and the instantaneous passing of her loved ones, leaving her alone in the world, emerge from the heaviness and darkness of "no more" in her life and confront death with fearlessness?
"I believe in the kitchen." In Banana Yoshimoto's words, the wisdom of life is found in healing, purity, and simplicity. Even through incessant tears, one never forgets the power of life that should be devoured heartily. Despite not sharing blood, one can quickly transcend the barriers of gender and home; Banana's writing presents pioneers of love. For thirty years, this classic work has been passed among readers who need it. Although more lows will be encountered with age, pain will return again and again, loved ones cannot always stay by one's side, and the vulnerability of women in the world is repeatedly overlooked, Banana deeply prays that people will not be defeated or give up. "Life is a process of healing." This is dedicated to all who have embraced the dream kitchen in the book, those who have toiled and sweated, walking out of sorrowful months. We also sincerely wish new generations of readers that, through this new edition and new translation of the book, at least the Banana of that girlhood era can always be by their side.
"—It's the kitchen." God, please bless me to live well.
