Wednesday 23rd September, 7.30pm
Join us for an evening with Momo Yamaguchi to talk about her darkly comic tale of awkwardness and obsession, Hello, Limerence.
Mika is about to turn twenty-five, and all she has to show for it is a soul-sucking office job and a terminal case of virginity. Between the pervy salarymen she works with and the pretty boys she pines after, she’s ready to explode. It’s summer in Tokyo, and just when she thinks real life is never going to live up to the wild fantasies her imagination cooks up, someone new catches her eye. It could be limerence, or the beginning of something much less one-sided?
Hailed as equal parts hilarious and incisive, this deliciously self-aware novel makes for a relatable and wonderfully delusional look at modern dating.
Part of our September Faber Wednesdays series.
