Manazuru
Hiromi Kawakami, Michael Emmerich (translation)Startlingly restless & immaculately compact, Manazuru paints the portrait of a woman on the brink of her own memories & future.
Twelve years have passed since Kei’s husband, Rei, disappeared and she was left alone with her three–year–old daughter. Her new relationship with a married man—the antithesis of Rei—has brought her life to a numbing stasis, & her relationships with her mother & daughter have spilled into routine, day after day.
Kei begins making repeated trips to the seaside town of Manazuru, a place that jogs her memory to a moment in time she can never quite locate. Her time there by the water encompasses years of unsteady footing & a developing urgency to find something.
Through a poetic style embracing the surreal & grotesque, a quiet tenderness emerges from these dark moments. Manazuru is a meditation on memory—a profound, precisely delineated exploration of the relationships between lovers & family members.
