<b>Desde un sake caliente hasta una cerveza fría, desde los árboles desnudos hasta su florecimiento, el lector siente de cerca la melancolía de los protagonistas y la hipnótica atmósfera de esta historia inolvidable, ganadora del prestigioso Premio Tanizaki, que ha marcado un hito en la literatura contemporánea. </b><p><b></b>Tsukiko tiene treinta y ocho años, vive sola y trabaja en una oficina . Una noche se encuentra en un bar con uno de sus antiguos profesores del colegio. Él es treinta años mayor que ella, jubilado y presumiblemente viudo . Su relación evoluciona -conducida suavemente por Kawakami a lo largo de las distintas estaciones- desde un conocimiento superficial mientras comen y beben a una agradable sensación de compañerismo y, finalmente, hasta una profunda relación sentimental. </p><p><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION</b> </p><p><b>Shortlisted for the 2013 Man Asian Literary Prize, <i>Strange Weather in Tokyo</i> is a story of loneliness and love that defies age.</b> </p><p>Tsukiko, thirty-eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei," in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him "Sensei" ("Teacher"). He is thirty years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love. </p><p>As Tsukiko and Sensei grow to know and love one another, time's passing is marked by Kawakami's gentle hints at the changing seasons: from warm sake to chilled beer, from the buds on the trees to the blooming of the cherry blossoms. <i>Strange Weather in Tokyo</i> is a moving, funny, and immersive tale of modern Japan and old-fashioned romance.</p>
