[are] quick and delicate, building, one after another, in a gentle crescendo of understanding and intensity."--The New Yorker "Banana Yoshimoto's elegant, fey touch with such weighty themes as despair and fate, [and] her urban images distilled and shimmering as haiku . . . continue to make her a welcome and uniquely assured voice on the global Gen-X scene."--Paper "Yoshimoto writes spare but precise narratives . . . Included is a strain of magic that at times is overt, and at times delicately traced along the margins of the tales." --South Bend Tribune "The substance of the stories in Lizard . . . could be from any time concerned with the ambivalence of life and with the longing for humans for a spiritual connection."--Edge "Yoshimoto revels in the transformative . . . Her delight in the everyday and things beyond translates easily and ultimately merges the two in a beautiful whole."--Virginian Pilot & Ledger-Star "Articulate and young but already jaded and wistful urbanites populate these reflective tales of relationships and discovery."--Library Journal "Yoshimoto's frequently surreal, elegantly geometric yet richly hued, and gently spiritual stories celebrate the wonder of love at first sight, the rightness of certain relationships, and the gift of hope."--Booklist Praise for Lizard -Earnest, deep, and unaffected. . . .
