Toddler Hunting and Other Stories: With an introduction by Sayaka Murata (W&N Essentials) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Akiko couldn't abide little girls between three and ten years old - she detested them more than any other kind of human being.
'Fiery, beguiling stories' Paris Review
'The power of the artfully spun words make the reader shudder' Sayaka Murata
'The female writer I most admire among all the Japanese authors' Shusaku Endo
On a Saturday night that feels filled with excitement, Fukuko and her husband decide to visit, unannounced, another couple. So begins a bewitching imagined journey into the forbidden.
Fumiko's passion for her husband thrives on sadomasochism. But now she may be pregnant and the ants that crawl over a piece of meat in her kitchen, squirm obscenely, teasing and goading her on.
When Akiko thinks about how she cannot have children, she feels an emotion close to joy. But though she loathes little girls, she cannot resist buying expensive clothes in which to dress little boys.
From one of the most influential voices in Japanese literature, these extraordinary stories introduce us to women risking self-destruction to fulfil their desires.
With an Introduction by Sayaka Murata

Acerca del autor
Taeko Kono (1926 -2015) is one of the most important Japanese writers of the second half of the twentieth century. Oe Kenzaburo, Japan's Nobel Laureate, described her as the most "lucidly intelligent" woman writers writing in Japan, and the US critic and academic Masao Miyoshi identified her as among the most "critically alert and historically intelligent." US critic and academic Davinder Bhowmik assesses her as "...one of the truly original voices of the twentieth century, beyond questions of gender or even nationality."

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. An immeasurably influential female voice in post-war Japanese literature, Kono writes with a strange and disorienting beauty: her tales are marked by disquieting scenes, her characters all teetering on the brink of self-destruction. In the famous title story, the protagonist loathes young girls but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. Taeko Kono's detached gaze at these events is transfixing: What are we hunting for? And why? Kono rarely gives the reader straightforward answers, rather reflecting, subverting and examining their expectations, both of what women are capable of, and of the narrative form itself. A captivating collection of pitch-black tales from one of the most important Japanese writers of the second half of the twentieth century - 'shocking, ominous, and subversive' The Paris Review Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
