Links

I have decided to start up a new list of links since the other sites out there have seemed to have not been keeping them updated. Unfortunately, I will only include web pages in English since it would be hard for me to know what they contain. Please send me an email if you see something on the net that isn't listed here and you think it should be.

Information About Banana

Banana Yoshimoto's Official Home Page
There is both a Japanese and English version with the English version with a little less content. Her diary is most interesting since it contains photos and a glimpse into her personal life. It is just a little strange since I have no idea who these people are in her life.

Unrecognized Banana Yoshimoto Page
A really good collection of Banana Yoshimoto links, photos, books and more! It is a really good source of Banana information.

Chris Moxey's Bananamania
Another Bananamania site with a collection of Banana Yoshimoto links and recipes.

IMDB on Banana (Mahoko) Yoshimoto
The Internet Movie Database's page that lists Banana Yoshimoto's novels that have been adapted to film. Pretty nifty info!

Famous Japanese
A nice little page with some basic biographical information about Banana.

Second Honeymoon
A wonderful translation of a short story by Banana Yoshimoto plus some biographical inforamtion about her as well.

Jason's Banana Yoshimoto Page
A nice looking site and has quite a bit of information on Banana including reviews on some of her more recent books and the movie Kitchen

Sharon's Banana Yoshimoto Page
Yet another web site with some information about this wonderful author. It contains various cover art from her books as well as summaries of the english publications and complete Japanese bibliography also.

A Small Resurrection

An interesting review of Lizard by Yuji Oniki. It is not entirely flattering but I think it is great to see other people's opinion of her writing.

A nice, detailed and personal evaluation of one of Banana's novels.
