金色の象 (河出文庫 134B)
A young man who has wandered the world returns to Japan and meets a girl who has run away from home, restless in her own youth, amid the bustle of the city. Through their life together and the birth of a child, the novel vividly blends love, sexuality, death, and a sense of nature as young bodies try to take in the world.
Work Information
The meeting of two young people moves through the noise of the city toward the radiance of life.
One of Katsusuke Miyauchi's representative works, the title story won the Noma Literary New Face Prize. From the chance meeting of a returned wanderer and a runaway girl, it follows their time together through pregnancy and childbirth in prose charged with sensuality and a sense of life. The Kawade Bunko edition also includes Gyoja Shin, which shapes the author's primal landscape through the eyes of a boy in a port town at the southern tip of Kyushu.
Review Summaries
-
Some readers value the novel's distinctive transparency and the feeling that reality opens into another dimension. It is often received less as a plot-driven story than as a work to be experienced through bodily sensation and shifting landscapes.
