E' un libro non facile da leggere, lento e profondo. Non c'è una narrazione lineare, ma avviene attraverso ricordi di dialoghi e di riflessioni passate prendendo spunto principalmente dell'ascolto di audiocassette lasciate all'amico-cognato da un famoso regista suicida. Il titolo e la copertina hann...
I am a little ashamed to admit that I did not want to read this book because I thought the title was so cheesy, but I am glad I got past that and read it. The theme is a little cheesy (I feel cynical calling a story about finding inner peace, cheesy), but the way it is presented is not at all cheesy...

gboxNarrated by Eduardo BalleriniOne wouldn't want to grapple with this if on a downer, you know, the back yard filled with black dogs and storms torrenting within the four walls of one's chest; this is human misery on a stick.
Już sam tytuł tej krótkiej powieści jest nieco szokujący. No bo jak to "zabić dzieci"? A no tak... Książka o zabijaniu wrażliwości. Pełna zimnych barw, szarych, wilgotnych miejsc pokrytych śniegiem, na którym kapiąca krew szybko zmienia barwę na brunatną. Nie ma tu współczucia, jest metaliczny blask...
This is a harsh tale, and the first-person narration is written in short, hard sentences, in simple blunt words, very corporeal, unsparing of ugly bodily details; emotions are depicted simply, mostly harsh emotions, but allowing for moments of joy and tenderness. It's an unusual style, over the cour...

I thought I might find this one easier to reach than "Who Will Teach Us...", but did not. It consists largely of Oe's reflections on the various incompetencies and hypocrasies of the Peace Movement in Japan c. 1964, along with reflections on the nobility of certain doctors. It is not that interestin...
