古井由吉作品 5
Sumika is a novel in which Yoshikichi Furui layers dwelling, body, memory, and relations between men and women to portray unease and instability hidden inside everyday life. The dwelling that should be a place of living emerges as a space where intimacy and solitude, relief and madness, intersect.
Work Information
A place of living becomes not only a refuge but an unsettling space where body and memory stir.
A full-length novel first published by Heibonsha and later read in editions such as Hijiri / Sumika. In Furui's dense prose, houses, rooms, bodily sensations, and fragments of memory are linked as relationships quietly tilt out of balance. Rather than relying on large events, the novel follows disquiet seeping into familiar spaces, leaving the feeling that everyday life itself has become strange.
Review Summaries
-
Critical readings emphasize body, gender, modernity, and madness, treating the novel as a work about living space while stressing its refusal to simply affirm domestic stability.
