Yoshimoto, Banana Goodbye Tsugumi
Grove Press June 2003 0-8021-3991-4 / 9780802139917 Paperback Very Good
Yoshimoto favors short novels that gradually reveal thin, almost translucen t layers of her characters' personalities. Her latest, following in the sty le of earlier books such as Kitchen and Asleep, is a careful examination of the relationship between two teenage cousins in a seaside Japanese town. M aria Shirakawa is a thoughtful young woman thrown by family circumstance (h er parents never married; with her mother, she is waiting for her father's divorce from his current wife) into growing up with her cousin, Tsugumi Yam amoto, in her aunt and uncle's small inn. Tsugumi, who is chronically ill, possesses a mischievous charm that both maddens and amuses her family. As M aria describes Tsugumi: "She was malicious, she was rude, she had a foul mo uth, she was selfish, she was horribly spoiled, and to top it all off she w as brilliantly sneaky." Tsugumi's tenuous health seems to free her from the behavioral norms that govern Maria and Tsugumi's long-suffering older sist er, Yoko, allowing her to curse, flirt with boys, concoct elaborate pranks and shock adults in a way Maria resents, envies and admires. Eventually, Ma ria's parents are united and she leaves to attend university in Tokyo, retu rning for a final summer during which the inn is being demolished, and this provides Yoshimoto with all the plot she needs to explore the difficult bu t affectionate bond between the cousins.
