Toddler-Hunting and Other StoriesIn the title story, the protagonist loathes young girls, but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. The impersonal gaze Taeko Kono turns on this behavior transfixes the reader with a fatal question: What are we hunting for? And why?Multiplying perspectives and refracting light from the strangely facing mirrors of fantasy and reality, pain and pleasure, these ten stories present Kono at her very best.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Toddler-Hunting and Other Stories introduces a startlingly original voice. Winner of Japans top literary prizes for fiction (among them the Akutagawa, the Tanizaki, the Noma, and the Yomiuri), Taeko Kono writes with a strange beauty, pinpricked with sadomasochistic and disquieting scenes. In the title story, the protagonist loathes young girls, but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. The impersonal gaze Taeko Kono turns on this behavior transfixes the reader with a fatal question: What are we hunting for? And why? Multiplying perspectives and refracting light from the strangely facing mirrors of fantasy and reality, pain and pleasure, these ten stories present Kono at her very best. Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2018 An unforgettable collection of stories from the most carnally direct and the most lucidly intelligent woman writing in Japan (Kenzaburo Oe) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
