The Dry Heart
Natalia GinzburgKatie KitamuraOne of my favorite novels by one of my favorite writers. The opening page — in which a woman matter-of-factly reveals that she has shot her husband — is extraordinary. And the novel carries on from there, a tumult of dread and horror, right through to the end.

Hangman
Maya BinyamKatie KitamuraA marvel of compressed unease, the novel is also wildly exuberant…Her style is simple and matter of fact, but full of unexpected pivots. She is also very funny. The novel is written with the kind of deadpan humor that makes you laugh even as it leaves you feeling a little queasy.

All the Lovers in the Night
Mieko KawakamiKatie KitamuraKawakami is a singular writer, and her prose has a ferocious energy. This novel was something of a surprise in its quiet tenderness, but like all Kawakami's work it is about being an outsider, about loneliness, longing, and the refusal to conform.
