More information about the product

Author: Mieko Kawakami
Publisher: Picador
Language: English
Release year: 2022

Hailed as a bold foray into new literary territory, Kawakami's novel is told in the voice of a 14-year-old student who was subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors.

These raw and realistic portrayals of bullying are counterbalanced by textured exposition of the philosophical and religious debates concerning violence to which the weak are subjected.
