He won the Bungakukai Prize for New Writers in 1997 for his story "Saigo no Musuko", and the Akutagawa Prize in 2002 (the fifth time he'd been nominated for the prize) for "Park Life". In 2002 he also won the Yamamoto Prize for Parade, and for winning both literary and popular prizes Yoshida was seen as a crossover writer, like Amy Yamada or Masahiko Shimada.

老奶奶的臉上布滿了深深的皺紋,但健二總覺得他懂,那每一條皺紋都是笑容堆積出來的。

這書看得有夠久,沒辦法,正當國事如麻……。

呵呵呵!

其實就只是居住的大城市要選市長,敵對候選人文功武鬥、步數出盡,搞得天天理性思考卻感性收尾,彷彿支持的候選人沒當選,之後至少四年從此生活暗無天日。因為選舉的主題更五彩繽紛,鹹濕重口味,眼前一整排的書就默默地靠邊站啦!

五個短篇故事,分別發生在五個著名的溫泉勝地──

「初戀溫泉」,熱海「蓬萊」。餐廳事業正進入狀況,展店順利的青年夫婦一起到熱海的溫泉。然而前一晚妻子突然對丈夫提出離婚要求,丈夫回顧兩人認識交往結婚,「一直以我的方式希望你感到幸福…」,妻子卻說「人生的組成如果只有幸福時刻,那並不叫幸福。」

「白雪溫泉」,青森「青荷溫泉」。都很愛說話,很談得來的年輕夫婦,一路嘰哩呱啦鬥嘴為樂,卻遇到只隔著紙門,共享山中小屋的另對因為喑啞而安靜男女。短暫地交流後,似乎也體會到用言語以外汩汩交融的愛意。

「躊躇之湯」,京都「衹園 畑中」。溽暑的天氣,男子謊稱出差,到京都與外遇對象一起度假。一路想著婚姻的本質─就像老婆在隔壁房間,偷偷摸摸看著電腦上的色情網站打手槍,只要一點聲響,都會嚇得趕忙穿上內褲,那樣的緊張刺激感。

「風來溫泉」,那須「二期俱樂部」。成功的保險業務員男子,和妻子吵過架後獨自一人來到預訂的溫泉旅館,卻又本能地向初遇的女社長成功推銷團保。最後奔潰地跑出旅館,因為不知不覺中其實非常厭惡這份工作,和那個十分在行這份工作的自己。

「純情溫泉」,黑川「南城苑」。十七歲小情侶向雙方父母撒謊,一起到溫泉鄉度假過夜。混雜著慾望、疑惑和樂觀。最終就是「十二個小時親熱,十二個小時吵架」般單純的喜歡。
