I don't mean that Shimoda can't write without parroting someone else's style, it's just that this book is more about disturbed characters and the madness that can thrive under the surface of a perfectly ordinary and apparently sane society (in this case, Japan).
In a sense a very slight trace of this was already present in "The Fourth Treasure", but now this specific brand of insanity gets center stage.
The author tries a few tricks fragmenting the main narrative and supplementing it with sidebars told from the point of view of various other characters, most contemporary, some for the past).
I liked it, but be warned that the tone is dark and could leave some aftertaste.… (altro)
