Asleep by Banana Yoshimoto harper They are eclectic and honest

They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them

It is a hallucinogenic romp about a girl coming undone

and radically truthful

at the start of the Roaring Twenties

Heather Lewis is the author of two other novels
