Mild Vertigo

More about the book

With shades of Clarice Lispector, Mavis Gallant and Lucy Ellman, this late- period novel by the esteemed novelist, essayist, and film and literary critic Mieko Kanai – whose often dark and cynical work occupies something of a cult place within the Japanese canon – is a disconcerting and astute portrait of life in late-stage capitalist society.
