Review Summaries
-
The book is valued as a turning point in Tsushima's work, especially for its unflinching treatment of bodily pain and desire. Some readers may find its dark, damp emotional texture heavy, but that pressure is part of its power.

緑の狂気
父はむかしに死んだ。男と別れた「わたし」は母の住む家に帰る。どうしようもなく深く、強く、「わたし」は「何か」に縛り付けられている。男の友人や近所に住む女や子供と時を過ごしている「わたし」は、じりっじりっと「何か」に引き寄せられてゆく。逃げられない。終末、「わたし」と「何か」がひとつになり、世界は一色に染まる。そこは――「草の臥所」。緑の狂気が鮮やかに現前にひろがる。 表題作「草の臥所」と、「花を撒く」「鬼火」の二篇をおさめた作品集。
