The Thief | Fuminori Nakamura
post image
Pickpick

My second book by Fuminori, while not as dark as Evil and the Mask, still involves criminal and violent behavior, as the title implies.

This book was a quick read; I needed to know what happened next. However, much of the novel was a meta-examination. Through the eyes of the thief, we witness the consequences of criminal behavior. A lot of thought went into the details of the criminal world.

LiterRohde Because of the detail and meta-analysis, The Thief may not be as fast paced as a typical crime thriller, though I‘m no expert. But for my tastes, it really worked. I look forward to reading more by this author. 6y
arubabookwoman One of my favorite Japanese crime authors. 6y
LiterRohde @arubabookwoman I want to read more! Cult X and The Gun look good. Any suggestions? (edited) 6y
arubabookwoman @LiterRohde Those are the only 2 I‘ve read by Nakamura. Other Japanese crime writers I like are #KeigoHigashima, #ShuichiYoshida, #SeichoMatsumoto (esp. #AQuietPlace) and #NatsuoKirino (esp. #Out). 6y

Real World | Natsuo Kirino

My miniature book haul featuring Japanese literature. I 🖤🖤🖤 Natsuo Kirino & her twisted tales of feminist noir themes, & I also ❤️❤️❤️ Banana Yoshimoto with her tales of familial bonds & the resilience of life during emotional tragedies. Seicho Matsumoto is a new author for me, but from what I've checked out, the writing is fantastic!!
