I absolutely love Kobo Abe. Never disappoints. This is probably my favorite book by him, with The Ark Sakura a close second. Such a talented mind.

This was a really good story. I wish the ending had been longer. It didn't explain thoroughly why what happened to the girls happened, I think it wanted you to come to your own conclusions on that and grief. It ended rather abruptly, which was the only thing I didn't like.
Stories like this, you see how rumors spread and how groups of people together can willingly band together against others and bully or harass them, without proof other than heresay. Humans have always been like that. Many innocent have suffered due to one person who dislikes them, starting rumors that they get many to believe.
Like I said, a good story but it needed to be longer. I'd still recommend.

One of the best books ever.

um. No.

Loved it
