N.P. is the title of a last collection of short stories by a celebrated Japanese writer. Written in English while he was living in Boston, the book may never see print in his native Japan: each time a new translator takes up the task, death gets in the way.

N.P. is an extraordinarily powerful story of passion and friendship, the nature of love and the taboos surrounding it, confirming Banana Yoshimoto's place as one of Japan's most important writers.

'The voice of young Japan.' Independent on Sunday

Banana Yoshimoto is the prize-winning and internationally bestselling author of many works of fiction, including Kitchen, Goodbye Tsugumi and The Premonition. Her work has been translated in over thirty countries. She lives in Tokyo.
