Aoyama Book Center, the bookshop, asked me to choose ten books for its new year's sale. I chose the following titles as: 10 books written by women writers that I respect. Of course the list might have been different if I were asked to make it on another day. But for now, it goes like this.
Aimee Bender, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt.
Caryl Churchill, Cloud Nine.
Sharon Creech, Walk Two Moons.
Janet Frame, The Lagoon.
Esther Freud, Hideous Kinky.
Jamaica Kincaid, At the Bottom of the River.
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping.
Leslie Marmon Silko, Ceremony.
Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping.
Karen Tei Yamashita, Tropic of Orange.
