These are some of the inhabitants of People From My Neighborhood. In their lives, details of the local and everyday-the lunch menu at a tiny drinking place called the Love, the color and shape of the roof of the tax office-slip into accounts of duels, prophetic dreams, revolutions, and visitations from ghosts and gods. In twenty-six "palm of the hand" stories-fictions small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand-Hiromi Kawakami creates a universe ruled by mystery and transformation."-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Japanese. 600 10 $a Kawakami, Hiromi, $d 1958- $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Neighbors $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Goossen, Ted, $e translator. 941 $a 9 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025606.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032312.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230103010439.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220412011310.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220330010425.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20220308010414.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220104013551.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220104011547.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211223010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F91188D063BD11ECAE2521E037ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
