Sunday matching book

It’s a calm Sunday. It rained for a while and now the sun is paying us a quick visit before it sets. I’ve started a new book - ‘Breasts and Eggs’ by Mieko Kawakami. I don’t know anything about it, but I received it as a gift so I’m really excited to get reading. A quick Wikipedia search tells me that:

‘Breasts and Eggs’ (Japanese: 乳と卵, Hepburn: Chichi to Ran) is a short novel by Mieko Kawakami, published by Bungeishunjū in February 2008. The original work has not been translated into English. In 2019, Kawakami published the novel ‘Natsu Monogatari’ (夏物語). It features a completely rewritten version of the original 2008 novella but uses the same characters and settings. An English translation of ‘Natsu Monogatari’ was published in 2020, under the original title of ‘Breasts and Eggs’.

Interesting. Plus, it matches my slippers (and my pink thermos).
