Take a story and shrink it. Make it tiny, so small it can fit in
the palm of your hand. Carry the story with you everywhere, let it
sit with you while you eat, let it watch you while you sleep. Keep
it safe, you never know when you might need it. In Kawakami's super
short 'palm of the hand' stories the world is never quite as it
should be: a small child lives under a sheet near his neighbour's
house for thirty years; an apartment block leaves its visitors with
strange afflictions, from fast-growing beards to an ability to
channel the voices of the dead; an old man has two shadows, one
docile, the other rebellious; two girls named Yoko are locked in a
bitter rivalry to the death. Small but great, you'll find great
delight spending time with the people in this neighbourhood.
