"Record of a Night Too Brief by Hiromi Kawakami, beautifully translated by Lucy North, features three surreal novellas filled with dreamlike imagery and emotional depth. Rather than clear plots, the stories evoke shifting moods of wonder and melancholy through vivid, symbolic scenes. Kawakami’s sharp, poetic prose - reminiscent of Kafka yet more lyrical - creates a haunting, surreal reading experience." - Amazon Customer Reviews

Akutagawa Prize-winning stories about unsettling loss and romance from one of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary writers—for fans of Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto

In a dreamlike adventure, one woman travels through an apparently unending night with a porcelain girlfriend, mist-monsters and villainous monkeys; a sister mourns her invisible brother whom only she can still see, while the rest of her family welcome his would-be wife into their home; and an accident with a snake leads a shop girl to discover the snake-families everyone else seems to be concealing.

Sensual, yearning, and filled with the tricks of memory and grief, Record of a Night Too Brief is an atmospheric trio of unforgettable tales.


“Talking animals, transformations into trees and horses, and a melancholic mood of loss and love make it easy to see why Kawakami is one of the more exciting voices in contemporary Japanese literature." —Thrillist
