Story
First published in Japan in 2003, Dead-End Memories collects the stories of five women who, following sudden and painful events, quietly discover their ways back to recovery. Yoshimoto's gentle, effortless prose reminds us that one true miracle can be as simple as having someone to share a meal with, and that happiness is always within us if only we take a moment to pause and reflect. Discover this collection of what Yoshimoto herself calls the "most precious work of my writing career."

Story
Yoshie's much-loved musician father died in a suicide pact with an unknown woman. It is only when Yoshie and her mother move to Shimokitazawa, a traditional Tokyo neighborhood of narrow streets, quirky shops, and friendly residents, that they can finally start to put their painful past behind them. However, despite their attempts to move forward, Yoshie is haunted by nightmares in which her father is looking for the phone he left behind on the day he died, or on which she is trying—unsuccessfully—to call him. Is her dead father trying to communicate a message through these dreams?

In "Newlywed", an unhappily married young man deliberately misses his stop on the train, only to be questioned by a shape-shifting homeless man about the trials of his marriage. In "Blood and Water", a woman recalls how she left the village she grew up in - which was run by a New Age cult - in order to lead a fulfilling life, even against her parents' wishes. And in the title story, "Lizard", a woman who has never before felt truly secure in her life admits a deep secret to her lover.

A celebrated Japanese writer has committed suicide, leaving behind a collection of stories written in English, NP. But the book may never be published in his native Japan: Each translator who takes up the 98th story chooses death too - including Kazami Kano's boyfriend, Shoji. Haunted by Shoji's death, Kazami is inexorably drawn to three young people whose lives are intimately bound to the late writer and his work.

Story
Dopo aver perso il padre in quello che ha tutta l'aria di essere stato un doppio suicidio d'amore, Yoshie si trasferisce dalla sua casa di Meguro a un minuscolo e vecchio appartamento a Shimokitazawa, un quartiere di Tokyo famoso per le sue stradine chiuse al traffico, i ristoranti, i negozietti, nonché meta degli alternativi della capitale. Qui Yoshie spera, aiutata dall'atmosfera vivace, di superare il dolore e dare una nuova direzione alla sua vita. Un giorno, però, sua madre le si presenta a casa all'improvviso con una borsa Birkin di Hermès e qualche sacchetto.

Story
Maria e Tsugumi sono amiche fin dall'infanzia anche se sono molto diverse. Maria, l'io narrante, è dolce: ha lasciato il piccolo paesino in cui era nata e cresciuta per iscriversi all'università a Tokyo. Tsugumi è bellissima ma dotata di un carattere infernale: affabile con gli estranei, nel privato è un tiranno, parla come un maschio ed è viziata all'inverosimile. Non può spostarsi dalla tranquilla penisola di Izu perché le sue condizioni di salute non glielo permettono. Il suo destino pare essere segnato...

Story
L'odore delle foglie secche colpite dal sole e il rumore della città, abbracciati, fanno da cornice a un amore che finisce e un'amicizia che fiorisce. E che diventa qualcosa di molto di più grande, di indimenticabile. Il racconto che Banana Yoshimoto considera il suo capolavoro ("Solo per aver potuto scrivere questo racconto, ringrazio di essere diventata scrittrice"). Una grande storia d'amore, qualunque sia il nome con cui vogliamo chiamare questo sentimento che ci illumina la vita.

Story
"Non c'è posto al mondo che io ami di più della cucina". Così comincia il romanzo di Banana Yoshimoto, Kitchen. Le cucine, nuovissime e luccicanti o vecchie e vissute, riempiono i sogni della protagonista Mikage, rimasta sola al mondo dopo la morte della nonna, e rappresentano il calore di una famiglia sempre desiderata. Ma la famiglia si può non solo scegliere, ma anche inventare. Così il padre del giovane amico Yuichi può diventare o rivelarsi madre e Mikage può eleggerli come propria famiglia, in un crescendo tragicomico di ambiguità.

Un viaggio, per quanto terribile possa essere, nel ricordo si trasforma in qualcosa di meraviglioso. La vita è un viaggio, e come tutti i viaggi si compone di ricordi. In questo audiolibro, Banana Yoshimoto raccoglie preziosi frammenti di memoria e ci porta con sé, lontano nel tempo e nel mondo. Dalle emozioni del primo amore alla scoperta della maternità, dalle piramidi egiziane alla Tokyo degli anni settanta.

Story
Kataoka Noni è la figlia di Shizukuishi e ha due papà, Kaede e Kataoka. In "Another World", capitolo conclusivo della quadrilogia "Il Regno", il percorso di crescita di Shizukuishi è ormai compiuto, Kaede è morto e Kataoka è un padre - a modo suo - amorevole. Ambientata tra Mykonos, Okinawa e Tokyo, la storia di Noni è la chiusura di un cerchio: torna la forza delle piante e delle pietre, l'amore della natura e quello, complesso e ingovernabile, tra gli esseri umani, il confronto con la morte e l'abbandono.

L'amico Kaede ha lasciato il Giappone per l'Italia e Yoshie si ritrova di nuovo da sola. Stavolta, però, la vita in città sembra farle meno paura. Il quartiere le è amico, e le giornate scorrono nella continua scoperta di piccoli motivi di felicità. La giovane impara a leggere nel cuore delle persone, a scorgerne l'anima fragile oltre la maschera di durezza che indossano nella loro quotidianità troppo indaffarata. Riuscirà a lasciare anche qui una traccia lieve, a trovare le parole giuste per portare conforto agli abitanti soli e affaticati della città? E che ne sarà della sua storia con Shin'ichiro? Saprà resistere alla nostalgia di Kaede e della nonna?
