Last Winter We Parted

Instantly reminiscent of the work of Osamu Dazai and Patricia Highsmith, Fuminori Nakamuraâ€™s latest novel is a dark and twisting house of mirrors that philosophically explores the violence of aesthetics and the horrors of identity.
A young writer arrives at a prison to interview a convict. The writer has been commissioned to write a full account of the case, from the bizarre and grisly details of the crime to the nature of the man behind it. The suspect, a world-renowned photographer named Kiharazaka, has a deeply unsettling portfolioâ€”lurking beneath the surface of each photograph is an acutely obsessive fascination with his subject.

He stands accused of murdering two womenâ€”both burned aliveâ€”and will likely face the death penalty. But something isnâ€™t quite right. As the young writer probes further, his doubts about this man as a killer intensify, and he struggles to maintain his sense of reason and justice. Is Kiharazaka truly guilty, or will he die to protect someone else?

Evoking Truman Capoteâ€™s In Cold Blood and RyÅ«nosuke Akutagawaâ€™s â€œHell Screen,â€ Last Winter, We Parted is a twisted talea that asks a deceptively sinister question: Is it possible to truly capture the essence of another human being?
