The matter I’d been tasked to investigate had to do with Kan’ichi and the nature of his return. Kan’ichi Hiraizumi came home after the bureau sent out a notice, entirely separate from the first and second waves of repatriation. He had been admitted to a military hospital during his duty. After the war, he had also been detained as a prisoner of war in a place that was well-known—even to those with limited knowledge like myself—for having far from humane conditions. Still, he sustained no major injuries or infections, and with his mental and physical health cleared, he returned home on foot, alone. Although it was a miracle worthy of celebration, this kind of story wasn’t particularly rare at the time. The problem was with how Kan’ichi looked since returning. There was little to no resemblance between photos of Kan’ichi from before the war and his current appearance, so much so that it seemed likely that a complete stranger could do a better job at mimicking him. In short, he had returned a completely different person.

13 and 27 I want a book rec

oh hey there

13. If the whole world listened to you right now, what would you say?

probably a lecture on femicide and the patrilineal trap and a recommendation to read Liliana’s Invincible Summer by Cristina Rivera Garza

27. What was the last book/movie that really impressed you?

NAILS AND EYES BY KAORI FUJINO. Short, not at all sweet, and excellent. It was published by Pushkin and it's basically a novella with two short stories tacked on at the end. The ending of the novella I reread maybe 4 times just to fully absorb it and the second short story I have been thinking about it for the past two days. Japanese female writers have been putting out some of the best surrealist/body horror fiction on the market for the last ~15 years and we're hitting a translation boom and finally getting the really good stuff. Nails and Eyes, Convenience Store Woman, and The Woman in the Purple Skirt were all Akutagawa Prize winners from the past decade. When Haneko Takayama hits the English langauge market it's over for you hoes
