Pechos Y Huevos (Novela) / Breasts and Eggs (a Novel)


Overview

El fenómeno literario internacional que ha enamorado a Elena Ferrante y Haruki Murakami, una historia de feminidad y clase en el siglo XXI. En un sofocante día de verano, Makiko viaja a Tokio a visitar a su hermana Natsu. Incapaz de aceptar los cambios de su cuerpo después de dar a luz, Makiko está obsesionada con la perspectiva de someterse a una cirugía de aumento de senos. Mientras tanto, su hija Midoriko, de doce años, vive paralizada por el miedo a la pubertad que se aproxima y se siente incapaz de expresarse más allá de a través de una libreta. Por su parte, Natsu tiene treinta años, es aspirante a escritora y lucha con su propia identidad indeterminada de no ser ni una ""hija"" ni una ""madre"". Reunidas en un barrio de clase trabajadora en Tokio, pasarán juntas unos días en los que el silencio de Midoriko será un catalizador para que confronten sus miedos, muchos de ellos impuestos en gran medida por ser mujer en la sociedad actual, y sus secretos familiares. Apadrinada por Haruki Murakami y Elena Ferrante, Mieko Kawakami se ha convertido en un fenómeno literario internacional y combina en estas páginas comedia y realismo para pintar un retrato de la feminidad de la clase trabajadora contemporánea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The international literary phenomenon praised by Elena Ferrante and Haruki Murakami, a story of femininity and class in the twenty-first century. On a sweltering summer day, Makiko travels to Tokyo to visit her sister Natsu. Unable to accept the changes in her body after giving birth, Makiko is obsessed with the idea of undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Meanwhile, her twelve-year-old daughter Midoriko is paralyzed by the fear of impending puberty and can only express herself through a notebook. Natsu, thirty years old, is an aspiring writer struggling with her own indeterminate identity of being neither ""daughter"" nor ""mother."" Gathered in a working-class neighborhood in Tokyo, they spend several days together in which Midoriko's silence becomes a catalyst for confronting their fears--many of them imposed by being women in today's society--and their family secrets. Endorsed by Haruki Murakami and Elena Ferrante, Mieko Kawakami has become an international literary phenomenon, blending comedy and realism to paint a portrait of contemporary working-class femininity. Breasts and Eggs is a powerful exploration of womanhood, class, and identity in modern Japan.
