The worst thing I've read in Japanese yet!
Extremely repetitive, if you want to read someone panicking every time they go outside because they see a person that unsettles them, and then they ping pong in their head for two pages between thinking something and thinking the polar opposite, this book will certainly fulfill that. It pretty much coasts on its 50+ character sentence length to substitute these same-y rants in place of having ideas. It's neat enough for the first few chapters until it's clear that's the only trick it's got. Wow I wonder if the person she saw this time wasn't there. Manages to somehow be intolerably indulgent and several times as long as it should at only 128 pages.
Works as a test of your comprehension of very long sentences and some obscure kanji for sure, if that's what you want. It all feels very "extra," obfuscating and self-satisfied in a way that I can only describe as the manifestation of what anti-art people would caricature surreal literature as. Sure I can read themes into it all day but when you make it this vague and wandering it feels like analysis bait. I'm the one doing all the work here, but the time spent was too unpleasant and dull to be worth that work.
