The jacket cover is technically correct, but hats off to the marketing folks that wrote the sales pitch, picked the cover quotes, piqued my interest, and got me to read this strange book. No, strange is not a strong enough word though. Bizarre? Odd? Whack? Whatever ... it just wasn't good; I didn't like it. So many strange choices by the characters, misunderstandings, and topics that went way out into left field. I understand there are a LOT of cultural differences between the US and Japan, and that this was translated from Japanese so I added a star to the rating to account for those differences. But honestly this felt like a book about three people who need serious therapy. I don't know what else to say. Just ... yikes. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"As a child, Natsuki doesn't fit into her family. Her parents favor her sister, and her best friend is a plush toy hedgehog named Piyyut who has explained to her that he has come from the planet Popinpobopia on a special quest to help her save the Earth. Each summer, Natsuki counts down the days until her family drives into the mountains of Nagano to visit her grandparents in their wooden house in the forest. One summer, her cousin Yuu confides to Natsuki that he is an extraterrestrial, and Natsuki starts to wonder if she might be an alien too. Later, as a married woman, Natsuki feels forced to fit in to a society she deems a "baby factory" but wonders if there is more to the world than the mundane reality everyone else seems to accept. The answers are out there, and Natsuki has the power to find them. Dreamlike, sometimes shocking, and always strange and wonderful, Earthlings asks what it means to be happy in a stifling world, and cements Sayaka Murata's status as a master chronicler of the outsider experience and our own uncanny universe"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
