This is my second Inoue book and I was expecting an exciting story about bullfighting in an exotic location. But it turned out to be something different, yet rewarding in a quietly powerful way. In Japan, traditional bullfighting is not between man and beast rather two bulls against one another, it's slow and uneventful as the bulls spend a lot of time sizing one another up before charging - mostly it's about the betting. Despite that, shady and interesting characters, subterfuge and bombed-out post-war Japan make up the colorful backdrop to a story of fitful reconstruction. Probably the best overview is by Michael Orthofer at complete review. ( )
Already in this early work he writes with a very sure hand, but perhaps even more impressively he unfolds his story to best effect, the deceptively simple tale ultimately going much further than could have been expected. Recommended. (A-) Auszeichnungen
Tsugami, the editor-in-chief of a newspaper in war-scarred Osaka, agrees to sponsor a bullfight. For months this great gamble consumes him, makes him as wary and combative as if he was in a ring himself. And, as he becomes ever more distant, his lover Sakiko is unsure if she would like to see him succeed or be destroyed. Yasushi Inoue's novella won him the prestigious Akutagawa Prize and established him as one of Japan's most acclaimed authors. From the planning of a bullfight--through Tsugami's struggle, his focus and his aloneness--he crafts something intensely memorable, a compelling existential tale.
