Historia4 out of 5 stars 73
Japan, after suffering from a massive irreparable disaster, cuts itself off from the world. Children are so weak they can barely stand or walk: the only people with any get-go are the elderly. Mumei lives with his grandfather Yoshiro, who worries about him constantly. They carry on a day-to-day routine in what could be viewed as a post-Fukushima time, with all the children born ancient - frail and gray-haired, yet incredibly compassionate and wise. Mumei may be enfeebled and feverish, but he is a beacon of hope, full of wit and free of self-pity and pessimism.

Beautiful surrealist dream…of apocalypse
Revisado: 05-01-24
I have listened to this novel four times and read the print book at least two more, and I keep discovering new beauties and terrors. Tawada brings readers into a very imaginable apocalyptic landscape and, through dream and nightmare images, leads them to contemplate what humans will do, can do, and should do to face the world we have helped to shape. Like looking at a Dali painting, readers should be prepared to submit to the weirdness of surrealist storytelling if they hope to be sensitive to what Tawada has given shape to. If you can relax into it, the book is not just fascinating, it’s ecstatic. Mitsutani’s ‘s translation participates in all aspects of Tawada’s dreaming. Chi’s narration is fresh and sweet. —Paradise!

Extremely dubious advice
Revisado: 07-19-22
Scare students, he says; that will keep them sharp. Make them compete for dominance; that’s the way of the “real world.” Work to make sure they always remember you, their heroic teacher, which is good because…wait, why again? Dude needs to read some bell hooks, think carefully about what he’s doing to people, and consider whether he deserves their trust. Teachers: you can do better than this.
