Superstar Mieko Kawakami is one of the driving forces behind the explosion of popularity of Japanese fiction in the UK; the seven top selling translated authors in 2025 were all Japanese. Following her smash hit, Breasts and Eggs, Mieko Kawakami brings us Sisters in Yellow, a tale of friendship, betrayal, and dive bars set in the gritty alleyways of 90’s Tokyo – every bit as brilliantly unorthodox as her last novel. Presented in partnership with the award-winning ESEA Lit Fest, today’s conversation sees her chatting about it with Maria Garbutt-Lucero.
