What We Are Reading Today: ‘All the Lovers in the Night’

Author: Mieko Kawakami One of my recent reads was “All the Lovers in the Night” by Mieko Kawakami, translated from Japanese by Sam Bett and David Boyd. With its contemplative, poetic yet restrained style, the 2022 novel feels best suited to late nights or unhurried stretches of reading. The story follows Fuyuko, a copyeditor in her thirties living a life marked by isolation. Her days pass in careful routine until she meets Mitsutsuka, an older man whose presence subtly begins to alter her perception of the world and of herself.
