«El cielo es azul, la tierra blanca: Una historia de amor» is the novel by Hiromi Kawakami, published by Acantilado in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
Tsukiko, 38, meets her former Japanese teacher again at a tavern. A silent pact to share their solitude grows between them: they share meals, seek to be together, and find it hard to say goodbye. Kawakami narrates with sensual, restrained prose the coming together of two lovers and the memories they try to escape.
Winner of the Tanizaki Prize, it was originally published in Japanese as «Sensei no kaban» and translated by Marina Bornas Montaña. Acantilado's Narrativa collection, no. 159.
