Banana Yoshimoto's novels of young life in Japan have made her an international sensation. Goodbye Tsugumi is an offbeat story of a deep and complicated friendship between two female cousins that ranks among her best work. Maria is the only daughter of an unmarried woman. She has grown up at the seaside alongside her cousin Tsugumi, a lifelong invalid, charismatic, spoiled, and occasionally cruel. Now Maria's father is finally able to bring Maria and her mother to Tokyo, ushering Maria into a world of university, impending adulthood, and a "normal" family. When Tsugumi invites Maria to spend a last summer by the sea, a restful idyll becomes a time of dramatic growth as Tsugumi finds love and Maria learns the true meaning of home and family. She also has to confront both Tsugumi's inner strength and the real possibility of losing her. Goodbye Tsugumi is a beguiling, resonant novel from one of the world's finest young writers.… (plus d'informations)

I love Banana Yoshimoto, and not just because she has a great name or because the first picture I saw of her was the best author shot ever (knowing, impish smile; witchy-poo shoes; and on the "backside" of the picture, she was hiding a bouquet of wildflowers in her hands, that you couldn't see from the front. It's on one of the tradepaper editions of Kitchen). I love wheat she writes about: quirky people who are real, but not necessarily likeable and in situations that aren't probable, but ring true. (I'm also told by reviewers that she does this with a "Japanese sensibility, whatever that means.)

Goodbye Tsugumi is certainly like this: an unlikeable girl making those around her miserable(at least when the book starts; part of its beauty is that her behavior is no more likeable by the end of the book, but through understanding Tsugumi, I came to like her anyway).

Unfortunately, I feel like the book cheaps out at the end. That last chapter becomes too neat and too nice. What was a book that nods at how human nature is messy and conflicted neatens up the way I'd expect some YA novel to. I liked that I never knew how the book was going to end (I thought I did, but I didn't), but this was not even the far-left-field ending, it was the we-were-playing-field-hockey-but-now-I'm-going-put-the-8- ball-in-the-corner-pocket ending.

Save yourself the pain- read the book (it's a quick read, and takes place at a beach, so maybe nice for summer?) but just skip the last chapter and choose your own ending. ( )

I libri della yoshimoto o mi piacciono moltissimo o per niente. Questo rientra nella seconda categoria purtroppo.

Trama: ricordi di vita passata insieme di tre cugine (Maria e le sorelle Yoko e Tsugumi). Che ci sarà da scrivere direte voi, se non qualche bel ricordo malinconico o divertente.. E invece no, una delle cugine è malata sia fisicamente che psicologicamente e tiene in scacco tutta la famiglia con le sue tirannie.

Maria sembra non avere una vita propria e vive col pensiero fisso di essere l'unica di capire veramente Tsugumi. Tutta la storia del padre di Maria poi è del tutto tralasciabile e confusa. Tsugumi è una sociopatica e già dal suo modo di fare e da numerosi eventi che ne indicano l'indole sarebbe dovuta andare a fare un buon percorso psicoterapeutico. Ma nella sua famiglia invece Chinano tutti il capo o se la ridono davanti a atti sadistici sconcertanti.

All'estremità del ponte c'erano delle piccole strisce di terra su cui, esposta alla dolce brezza notturna, era fiorita una moltitudine di fiori bianchi. Ogni volte che, flessi dal vento, ondeggiavano tutti insieme, per qualche istante restava un'immagine bianca, proprio come succede nei sogni.

Rifletteva il cielo azzurro di quella preziosa schiarita della stagione delle piogge.

A volte ci sono delle strane notti. Notti in cui lo scorrere del tempo subisce leggeri sfasamenti. Eterne sono le notti. ( )

I was ready to set sail on the Banana boat on a sea full of lost faces, lost places, and liminal spaces like I did in Highschool. My voyage was not smooth sailing, it was full of unbelievably ridiculous characters and their wacky shenanigans that just made me seasick and wanting off the boat.

Tsugumi is annoying and her poor sister and mother seem to live exclusively to the rhythm of her selfish moods and actions. She has a life threatening illness that we don’t find out what it is and that’s probably intentional to gather sympathy. There are beautiful passages and interesting themes in the story characteristic of Yoshimoto’s writing. The highlight of the book for me was the narrative of having people coming and going from one’s life. I wish she had explored it more. ( )

Non so se è merito del traduttore ma questo romanzo di Banana Yoshimoto mi è piaciuto anche per lo stile più ordinato e descrittivo, con periodi più lunghi e "complessi". Mi è sembrato meno "infantile". Finora ho amato tutti i romanzi e racconti letti di Banana, la trovo davvero originale nella sua semplicità. Mi sono affezionata a Maria e Tsugumi, ai personaggi e al luogo in cui è ambientata la storia. http://www.lacasadialchemilla.com/2013/08/tsugumi-di-banana-yoshimoto.html
