私の男
<아카쿠치바 전설> <소녀에게는 어울리지 않는 직업>의 작가 사쿠라바 가즈키의 장편소설. 이루어질 수 없는 남녀의 15년에 걸친 사랑의 행적을 그려낸 소설이다. 2008년 제138회 나오키 상 수상작으로, 심사위원으로부터 "상식을 가볍게 짓이기며 전개되는 가장 위험한 러브 스토리"라는 평가를 받았다.
내 남자의 이름은 구사리노 준고. 주인공 다케나카 하나의 양아버지다. 15년 전 홋카이도 남서해에 일어난 해일로 온 가족을 잃은 초등학교 4학년의 어린 하나를 먼 친척인 준고가 양녀로 삼았다. 하나를 입양할 당시 준고의 나이는 스물일곱. 둘의 나이 차는 불과 열여섯이다.
하나의 결혼식 전날, 하나는 양아버지 준고가 훔친 우산을 함께 쓰고 약혼자 요시로가 기다리는 레스토랑으로 향한다. 그리고 결혼식 후 신혼여행을 다녀온 하나는 준고가 갑자기 사라진 사실을 알고 깊은 절망에 빠지는데… 소설은 조금씩 시간을 거슬러 올라가며 이 기묘한 부녀 관계가 어떻게 형성되었는지 그 흔적을 따라간다.

共感はできないけど、やってることは読んでて気持ちのいいものではないけど、この暗さが私は好きだった。
それにしても殺人犯してるのにそれが大したことと思えないほど他の部分のインパクトがありすぎた。

恋父乱伦小说 that’s all

There would be two types of people: a small group of individuals including myself who praise this book and call it a masterpiece, and the rest would be absolutely disgusted by it.
It starts us off with Hana in 2008, on the eve of her marriage to Yoshiro. She meets her adopted father Jungo on a Ginza streetcorner one rainy night so they can go together to have dinner with her fiancé. Her very first words are “my man was walking this way”.
We find out soon enough that they have a sexual relationship, although the details of that are not made clear at first. But this is a rabbit hole of a book, pushing backward through time, and with each step back in time, we learn more about the terrible nature of their relationship.
Sakuraba peers into the head of a victim of childhood abuse and pulls out the threads of gaslighting and need and abandonment and desire that wind together and lead to a child trying at all costs to protect their abuser and stay with them because that is the only love they have every known and if it were to collapse, they too would be destroyed. It’s disturbing to read and at times grotesque.
Consider this your content warning for assault and abuse of all kinds. This is a dark book from start to finish. Don’t reach for it if that is the kind of thing that sends you to a dark place.

有必要写这么重口味的东西吗， 除了重口味， 这本书还想表达什么。

Is this a fate that all these best-selling authors of "New Era" (please understand "recession era") don't know how to write in Japanese?
