"A sense of unease permeates this disturbing and exceptional collection of stories centered on unhappy women in postwar Japan...," wroteÂ Publishers Weekly.Â World Literature TodayÂ proclaimed: "Reminiscent of Flannery Oâ€™Connorâ€™s works, Konoâ€™s stories explore the dark, terrifying side of human nature that manifests itself in antisocial behavior."Â Toddler-Hunting & Other StoriesÂ introduces to American readers a startlingly original voice. Winner of most of Japanâ€™s top literary prizes for fiction, Kono Taeko writes with a disquieting and strange beauty, always foregrounding whatÂ ChoiceÂ called "the great power of serious, indeed shocking events." In the title story, the protagonist loathes young girls, but she compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. The impersonal gaze Kono Taeko turns on this behavior transfixes the reader with a fatal question: What are we hunting for? And why? Now available in paperback for the first time,Â Toddler-Hunting & Other StoriesÂ should fascinate any reader interested in Japanese literatureâ€“â€“or in the growing world of transgressive fiction.
