"Yoshimoto's elegant, fey touch with such weighty themes as despair and fate, and] her urban images distilled and shimmering as haiku . . . continue to make her a welcome and uniquely assured voice." --Paper magazine Banana Yoshimoto's warm, witty, and heartfelt depictions of the lives of young Japanese have earned her international acclaim and best-seller status, as well as a place among the best of contemporary Japanese literature. In Lizard, now available in Grove Press paperback, Yoshimoto deftly fuses traditional and pop culture to create contemporary portraits of love and life. These six tales explore themes of time, healing, and fate--and the journeys of self-discovery through which young urbanites come to terms with them. 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--that she has the ability to heal others with her mind. In different ways, these six stories explore what it takes to navigate the perils of the modern world as well as what it takes to reinvent one's self. Permeated by the author's own effervescent spin on magic realism, Lizard cements a special place for Yoshimoto in twentieth-century Japanese fiction. "Earnest, deep, and unaffected. . . . These stories . . . are] quick and delicate, building, one after another, in a gentle crescendo of understanding and intensity." --The New YorkerBinding Type: Paperback

Cute but NOT supportive
Size: X-Large, Color: Floral Pink Rose, Size: X-Large, Color: Floral Pink Rose
These are NOT “workout” tanks offering support. They have a removable cup sewn into the front of the shirt, similar to a bathing suit. If you have small (or gloriously high) boobs and want a shirt to hide your nipples, this is great. If you want something to actually give support, this is NOT it. There is no band to provide support. So if you have large or low breasts, don’t even try. You’ll have to wear a bra with it unless you want your boobs hanging below the sewn in cups. That being said, the material is great. It’s nice and thick with lots of stretch. The cut is also adorable. And I LOVE all the colors. I wish it just had a supportive band!

Comfy & cute! But low support
Size: X-Large, Color: Ocean Depths
This tank is super comfortable and I LOVE the color. The built-in bra is a little weird; I thought it was sewn in backwards but apparently not. It has low/medium support, bigger chested folks may not like this. Im a 36D and its right on the line for support where I can't decide about wearing this in public. I sized up and am glad I did; it fits well! Im 5'7" and 165lbs for reference.

Fantastic tank top
Size: Small, Color: Ocean Depths
This is a great tank top. I love that there is a inserted bra. I have read other reviews about the padding moving around during wash but that's really no big deal and easily put back into place. It's a super soft and well fitting shirt.

Perfect for classy evenings or comfortable running around town
Color: Pattern Kah, Size: Medium
I favor wide-leg lounging pants in large sizes for their comfortable fit, which strikes the perfect balance between loose and baggy. These pants exude elegance, making them ideal for both social gatherings and quiet evenings with my spouse. The fabric flows beautifully and keeps me cool and dry. Its breathability is notable, and I appreciate the vibrant color, soft texture, and high quality, particularly during the pleasant late afternoons and early evenings typical of Southern nights.
