El efecto del aleteo de una mariposa en Japón, de Ruth Ozeki, es una novela de narrativa extranjera de rabiosa actualidad firmada por una escritora, cineasta y monje budista zen. Nunca una novela habia explicado de una manera tan especial y a la vez tan rotunda el mundo en el que vivimos, en el que todo esta conectado. Desde Tokio a Vancouver, desde Marcel Proust al cataclismo nuclear de Fukushima, del manga a la burbuja tecnologica, la voz torrencial, unica, de Ozeki dibuja una novela inquietante, cruda y refinada, divertida a ratos, perturbadora otros. Un inteligente incentivo para la imaginacion de un publico urbanita, informado del dia a dia. Aroma urbanita pero que enraiza con la tradicion encarnada en los antecesores de la protagonista. Tan rica y distinta como una obra de Murakami o Shangai baby.Ruth Ozeki -una profesora universitaria de literatura- vive en Vancouver con su marido. Una tarde, paseando junto al mar, encuentran una fiambrera de Hello-Kitty con numerosas cartas y un diario pertenecientes a la joven Naoko Yasutami, restos, supuestamente, del tsunami ocurrido en Japon en el 2011. En el diario, que Ruth lee con fervor, Nao habla de su vida diaria, de sus preocupaciones, pero tambien de su historia familiar, presidida por su bisabuela Jiko, de 104 años de edad. Ruth, muy sensibilizada con sus raices japonesas, indaga en la vida de Nao, porque quiere saber si sobrevivio a la catastrofe, ya que, segun el diario, estaba en las inmediaciones de Fukushima el 11 de marzo.Ozeki provoca un impacto emocional en el lector.

Tambien conoce a un poeta filosofo sin hogar que lo anima a hacerse preguntas importantes y a encontrar su voz entre todas las demas.Pero ademas se encuentra con su propio Libro, un objeto parlante que narra la vida de Benny y le enseña a escuchar las cosas que de verdad importan.El libro de la forma y el vacio reune personajes inolvidables, una trama absorbente y un tratamiento vibrante de temas que van desde el jazz y el cambio climatico a nuestro apego a las posesiones materiales.
