Bitter Honey (The Intriguing Stories of Muro Saisei Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Muro Saisei (Author), J.D. Wisgo (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions

Do goldfish really need to go to the dentist?

An elderly man near the end of his life and writing career, Kamiyama stumbles upon a perky goldfish named Akako who can mysteriously take on the form of––of all things––a teenage girl. Incompatible bodies make expressing their love for one another difficult, yet the two manage to engage in intimate conversations on a variety of topics: life challenges, property disputes, taxes, not to mention Kamiyama’s obsession with a certain body part. But their carefree days suddenly get turned upside down when Akako encounters a woman who claims to be an old flame of Kamiyama and insists on seeing him.

In turns irreverent, funny, profound, and touching, “Bitter Honey” is a unique piece of experimental Japanese literature composed entirely of dialogue, considered to be Japan’s first true surrealistic novel.

The story is included in both English as well as parallel Japanese/English for students of Japanese.

“But what if I accidentally swallow you whole? That would be a major problem.” –– Kamiyama
