The ten loves of Nishino
(Book)

"Originally published in Japan in 2003 under the title Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Boken"--title page verso.

Hiromi Kawakami tells the story of an enigmatic man through the voices of ten remarkable women who have known him. Each woman has succombed, even if only for an hour, to the seductive, imprudent, and furtively feline man who drifted so naturally into their lives. Still clinging to the vivid memory of his warm breath and his indeciperhable silences, ten women tell their stories as they attempt to recreate the image of the unfathomable Nishino.

Translated from the Japanese.
