I particularly loved the way she weaves something from the previous story into the next. Head's up: there is one story that takes place in a torture museum that I did not read. I found the beginning too graphic and disheartening. (  ) stickersthatmatter | May 29, 2023 | This book definitely didn't change my opinion of the author. She's a talent. These stories are very dark and eerie with a theme of "revenge" running through many of them. Each story is somehow linked to the rest, and I regretted that I didn't map the connections on a piece of paper. Short stories have really captured my attention lately. I have always liked them, but never have made an effort to read collections. This book cemented the fact that I need to try harder. While I don't think it is quite as good as George Saunders' Tenth of December, I really found the simple, straightforward writing with a dark twist to be compelling.

 Ogawa makes each of the stories seem like odd, if convincing, standalone works of short fiction and at the same time like metafictional products created by the characters in several of the stories. Are you reading about a trip to the zoo in a novel by one of the characters, or a trip to the zoo in a story by Ogawa? By the time you begin to recognize this paradox as the guiding principle of the stories, you're in too far to stop.
An aspiring writer moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlady has murdered her husband. Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon is approached by a cabaret singer, whose beautiful appearance belies the grotesque condition of her heart. And while the surgeon's jealous lover vows to kill him, a violent envy also stirs in the soul of a lonely craftsman. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon's neighbor-who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders-their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web. Yoko Ogawa's Revenge is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the very end. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
