A collection of short essays, mostly 2-4 pages long. Honestly, it felt like a chore. That's probably not because of the text itself, just the fact that I don't like short stories. Especially in a foreign language. It takes me a while to get into a story and get to cruising (reading) speed. Reading short texts is like having to crank up an old motor endlessly.
Anyway, it's around 55 texts split into four themes. My favorites were the ones about her male friends (男友達の部屋), there were some interesting ideas about other-sex friendships. The last few ones I didn't read, as they are a 'journal' of novels she read, mostly translations. There are also a few in there that I didn't really understand and didn't seem interesting enough to keep cranking it ;P
Well, in retrospective I shouldn't be surprised: essays and short stories are both not really my thing, so even the best writing skills couldn't save me on a collection of short essays!
