Perhaps he was less of an enigma to his nieces, by blood or adoption, upon whom in his latter years he leaned so charmingly for sympathy and care. It is not easy to avoid misinterpretation and perversity of speech touching one who was always puzzling over life, and presenting himself, as well as the Universe, for a puzzle to his friends.

I couldn’t seem to connect to the wondrous, sometimes eerie tales of the people in this neighbourhood.īut then, something strange happened. ![]() After reading the first couple of stories, I was certain that my scepticism had been justified. I didn’t quite know what to expect when this tiny book arrived by mail (although I instantly fell in love with the format and the cover) it wasn’t my first book by Hiromo Kawakami, but my first foray into flash fiction – I guess one can say that I approached this book with caution, but also a healthy dose of curiosity. Readers will meet an old man with two shadows that keep fighting each other a princess with a dubious, murderous past a young girl engaging in the manipulation of people’s memories a doctor who insists that some people are hatched from eggs and a greeting squad with the ability to halt time. It is filled with idiosyncratic characters that are involved in the most curious incidents. This is not your typical Japanese neighbourhood. Hiromi Kawakami’s book “People from my neighbourhood,” translated from Japanese to English by Ted Goossen, is a collection of flash fiction – 36 loosely intertwined stories on 121 pages that can be read in one sitting. ![]() A collection of flash fiction about the people who live in the main character’s neighbourhood.įor those of you who don’t know: flash fiction is a story told in less than 1000 words. ![]() ![]() ![]() These relationships show that family is more about love and protection than biological relationships. ![]() A variation on this motif is children turning to people they are not related to by blood as parental figures, such as Sonny turning to Eli, the joyful yet flaky father of Sonny's sister, and Kojo turning to Ma Aku, who saved him from slavery. ![]() The importance of the bond between parent and child is shown when children reunite with their parents, which happens with Yaw and his mother Akua as well as with Sonny and his mother Willie. Relationships between parents and children are especially important in the lives of many of the characters. For example, Quey and his son are given privileges because they are related to a white colonist on the Gold Coast, but Ness and Kojo, who live in the same time period in the United States and are also descended from a woman from the Gold Coast and a white colonist, are treated as slaves and criminals. The fact that all of the characters in the book are related to one another, particularly the characters living in the same time period in Africa and the United States, also serves to show the effects of culture on one's opportunities and expectations. Through this structure, the importance of family and upbringing can be seen in the personalities and decisions of the characters. ![]() The importance of family is clear from the very structure of Homegoing, in which each chapter follows a different descendent of a mutual ancestor, Maame. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The sight had horrified him, and at the same time, he had to admit, fascinated him, for they all, each in her own special way, had been of dazzling beauty.
