Chi è la vittima? Chi il carnefice? Oggi non è facile dirlo. Joji è il salaryman senza qualità, prosciugato dall'ossessione per Naomi, di cui idolatra esclusivamente il corpo; Naomi è una ragazza volgare e crudele, perché sa benissimo di non avere nient'altro che il proprio corpo. Per me uno dei più bei romanzi del secolo scorso, un gran peccato che non ci siano più edizioni. Va recuperato assolutamente

Satire about the shallow and exaggerated representation that Japanese people have of western society, at that time, mostly from european or american movies and magazines. It was mostly sad, but the very last chapter was hilarious.
