Narration During Books Evil and the Mask

The second book by prize-winning Japanese novelist Fuminori Nakamura to be available in English translation, a follow-up to 2012's critically acclaimed The Thief─another fantastically creepy, electric literary thriller that explores the limits of human depravity─and the powerful human instinct to resist evil.   When Fumihiro Kuki is eleven years old, his elderly, enigmatic father calls him into his study for a meeting. "I created you to be a cancer on the world," his father tells him. It is a tradition in their wealthy family: a patriarch, when reaching the end of his life, will beget one last child to cause misery in a world that cannot be controlled or saved. From this point on, Fumihiro will be specially educated to learn to create as much destruction and unhappiness in the world around him as a single person can. Between his education in hedonism and his family's resources, Fumihiro's life is one without repercussions. Every door is open to him, for he need obey no laws and may live out any fantasy he might have, no matter how many people are hurt in the process. But as his education progresses, Fumihiro begins to question his father's mandate, and starts to resist.

What I should like to find is a crime the effects of which would be perpetual, even when I myself do not act, so that there would not be a single moment of my life even when I were asleep, when I was not the cause of some chaos, a chaos of such proportions that it would provoke a general corruption or a disturbance so formal that even after my death its effects would still be felt.

Synopsis: when Fumihiro Kuki was eleven, his elderly father told him, I created you to be a cancer on the world.

I don't really do crime fiction, but I love what seems to be its narrow and more literary subgenre of warped and well-drawn narrators -- so "Highsmith" and "Dostoevsky" as buzzwords in the blurbs sold me. After reading, I think these comparisons are apt, but as another Goodreaders reviewer pointed out, the book's many theses on evil and the imprint of crimes on the soul, etc, might have better been fleshed out as essays versus through the structure of a longish novel (that does go quick).

The audio version of the Japanese novel, Evil and the Mask by Fuminori Nakamura, and read by Kirby Heyborne (who, incidentally was also the narrator for the audio version of Gone Girl and Heft), is probably the creepiest love story I've ever heard, made all the more creepy by the stunning audio performance. Yes, I said "love story" because beneath all the murder, suffering, sickness, depression, familial abuse, and philosophical waxing is a young boy's love for a young girl. Fumihiro is raised

The premise is a family of Japanese billionaires that spite the world by breeding sons to be a cancer on the world. Our hero, Fumihiro Kuki, is just 11 when his distant and intimidating father says he was raised to be such a menace. The question then becomes whether Kuki can resist the temptation or whether his fate is inevitable. And while the premise is unique the human interactions are recognizable which keeps story within a realistic framework. Kuki is juggling a number of conflicts by the

This is a very good, maybe incredible novel that somehow manages to stay compelling for 350 pages despite the fact that mostly the characters just sit in the dark and hate life. Mild spoilers: The last 50 pages I'm less fond of, as it's all leading towards a kind of silent, masochistic self-sacrifice (which is incredibly common in Japanese storytelling) that's so familiar I'm sick of putting up with it, especially as the logic behind it here was borderline nonsensical. But the process of getting

I was able to read an advance copy of the book. It is one of those wonderful books that either pulls you in immediately or repulses you. The book begins with a very dark tone, so dark you aren't sure there is any sort of light at the end of the tunnel. The story is heavy with monologue and you'll get a fair idea individual character's personal philosophies but the story moves forward at a solid pace. Since others have touched on the story I won't. It did begin as a mystery novel in a sense and I
