Used book – The Housekeeper and the Professor, Yôko Ogawa, Rose-Marie Makino-fayolle

EDITORS' POINT OF VIEW

From a convalescent's fascination with the fate of a young swimming champion to a novelist's mistake of spontaneously introducing herself to her reader; from the writings of a solitary child to a mother's concern for a dog with sad eyes; from the delicate imprint of a butterfly's wing to the reminiscence of a lost feeling: this book is a true mirror of Yoko Ogawa's work.

Seven stories to be read in conjunction with the collection entitled: Les Paupières (Actes Sud, 2007), seven subtle revelations, like so many veils to be lifted to reach the shores of imagination.

Yoko Ogawa was born in 1962. She lives in Japan. She has won the most prestigious literary prizes and is now internationally recognized. All of her works in French are published by Actes Sud.
