![]() There are times when as a reader I could not understand the intent of the characters, but I liked that as well. Each story deals with either anguish or loss or loneliness which leads the characters to do and behave the way they do. It is full of macabre and intensity of emotions (which again to some extent are subtle) and most of all it is also about the human condition. Revenge in the most extraordinary form of the word, is indeed a “different” book. I had read three of Ogawa’s books before reading Revenge however nothing prepared me about what was coming my way. Japanese fiction has a charm of its own which of course I have written about earlier, however just reiterating it because of a wondrous book that I just finished reading titled, “Revenge: Eleven Dark Tales” by Yoko Ogawa. In all my experience of reading Japanese fiction, I have not been disappointed even once and thank God for that. ![]() ![]() The plots are morbid and strange things happen to people. ![]()
