Ms Ice Sandwich
Mieko Kawakami, Louise Heal Kawai (translation)A boy is obsessed with a woman who sells sandwiches. He goes to the supermarket almost every day, just so he can look at her face. She is beautiful to him, & he calls her "Ms Ice Sandwich", and endlessly draws her portrait. But the boy's friend hears about this hesitant adoration, & suddenly everything changes. His visits to Ms Ice Sandwich stop, & with them the last hopes of his childhood.
A moving & surprisingly funny tale of growing up and learning how to lose, Ms Ice Sandwich is Mieko Kawakami at her very best.
Tender, warm, yet unsentimental, Ms Ice Sandwich is a story about new starts, parents who have departed, & the importance of saying goodbye.
