This book...wow, just wow. I genuinely didn't expect this book to touch me like it did.
I'm getting more and mire into east asian literature in recent years and this book once again showed me why exactly. There is just something about, especially Japanese, books that just get to me like no other books really can. I think it's the way Japanese authors like Yagisawa can describe characters and landscapes as well as their inner going-on's in such a magical way.
Of course I also have to give credit to the translator Eric Ozawa whose translation is just as much a work of art as the szory itself!
