Lui is a nineteen year old girl who falls in deep with a stranger she only know as Ama. Why? Because of his reptile-like tongue. She enters the world of tattoos and piercings blindly like a child at a candy store, hoping to get something cool out of it. During this exploration of the underworld, she meets Shiba-san, a tattoo artist. The masochist in her longs for the sadist (Shiba-san) yet the "Barbie-girl" in her is attached to Ama--even though she's fucking the other guy. The books leads you through obvious twists and turns after an accidental murder. It reads like a Hot Topic-ish sort of book. Something that isn't worth any time, minus the fact that it's only 120 pages long. Semi-random purchase in the used book section. I'd never heard of this, but I was promised an international bestseller, a prize winner, and a look at underground culture in Japan. How could I resist? The reviews for this book are deeply divided, and it's easy to see why. This book has explicit sex, a nihilistic and depressed narrator, sadomasochism, and body modification. It's easy for all of that to come off as sensationalistic — especially for readers so far removed from the culture this book is steeped in — it makes it harder to judge how grounded in reality it is. I didn't always enjoy this book. In fact, I was making some very extreme faces in public while reading some of these scenes. But I was always fascinated. Seriously, all the content warnings, but especially for violence, rape, body horror, eating disorders. This was really interesting, I'd never read anything from a Japanese writer before this & I really liked it. Its about a girl who's with this punk guy (I think this is a big deal in Japan, because she's a "Barbie Girl" & I don't think the two groups mix), & she's getting body mods from his friend who fucks her as payment. It does sound quite messed up, & would sound even more so if I were to tell you the ending, but I really, really enjoyed it. Plus, its the only book I think I've ever read in one day. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
