Čekala jsem třeskutě vtipnou verzi Hunger games (resp. Battle royale) pro cynické dospěláky, ale nedočkala jsem se. Z navzájem se vraždících důchodců se dalo vytřískat mnohem víc (doslova i přeneseně, hahaha). Konec stříbrného věku byly docela zklamání, a to si na uhozenou japonskou literaturu dost potrpím. Po klapačky ozbrojení stařečci a stařenky nikdy nebyli tak nudní.

Penzionovaný Battle Royale aneb satira z vůbec nejtrefnějších, která nastavuje zrcadlo nejen japonské společnosti. Po hříchu ovšem nemá rozsah krátké úderné novely a tak zvlášť kolem poloviny mlátí již předtím (ne)jednou řečenou slámu.

Along with Shinichi Hoshi and Sakyo Komatsu, he is one of the most famous science fiction writers in Japan. His Yumenokizaka bunkiten won the Tanizaki Prize in 1987. He has also won the 1981 Izumi Kyoka award, the 1989 Kawabata Yasunari award, and the 1992 Nihon SF Taisho Award. In 1997, he was decorated as a Chevalier Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government.
His work is known for its dark humour and satirical content. He has often satirized Japanese taboos such as disabilities and the Tenno system, and has been victim to much criticism as a result. From 1993 to 1996, he went on a writing-strike to protest the excessive, self-imposed restraint of Japanese publishers.
One of his first novels, Toki o Kakeru Shōjo (1967), has been adapted into numerous media including film, television and manga. Another novel, Paprika (1993), was adapted into an animated film by the director Satoshi Kon in 2006.

Yasutaka Tsutsui es novelista, autor teatral, crítico literario, actor y músico. Después de graduarse en la Universidad de Doshisha en arte y estética, fundó la revista de ciencia ficción NULL. Durante los años setenta comenzó a experimentar con diferentes formas literarias aunque logró un gran reconocimiento como autor de ciencia ficción. En el verano de 1993, Tsutsui anunció que dejaba de escribir como reacción al linchamiento que había sufrido en la prensa por una protesta hecha por la Asociación de Epilépticos de Japón debido a ciertas expresiones sobre la epilepsia que aparecían en uno de sus cuentos. En protesta por la falta de libertad de expresión se negó a publicar en su país, convirtiéndose en el primer ciberescritor de Japón al haber sido internet durante una larga temporada el único medio de poder leer sus historias.
Su prolífica obra ha obtenido numerosos e importantes galardones: en 1981, el premio Izumi Kyoka por «Kyojin-Tachi» (Gente imaginaria); en 1987, el premio Tanizaki por «Yumenokizaka-Bunkiten» (La intersección Yumenokizaka); en 1989, el premio Kawabata por «Yoppa-dani eno Koka» (El descenso al Valle Yoppa); y, en 1992, el premio de CF de Japón por «Asa no Gasuparu» (Gaspar de la Mañana). En 1997 fue nombrado por el Gobierno francés «Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres»(less)
