Description

Natsumi's life is a series of unremarkable routines: laundry, supermarket trips, social visits. Yet, as she navigates her daily existence, her inner world becomes increasingly entangled with the minutiae of her surroundings. In this novel, Mieko Kanai explores the disorienting experience of losing one's sense of self in the midst of a seemingly ordinary life. Through Natsumi's conversations and interactions, Kanai reveals the ways in which our internal monologues can become overwhelming, making it difficult to distinguish between the self and the external world. This thought-provoking novel is characterized by its lyrical prose and explores themes of selfhood in late-stage capitalist society. With its unique blend of psychological insight and literary acuity, Mild Vertigo is a disconcerting and imaginative portrait of modern life.
