The sea of \u200b\u200bdead
Kenji Nakagami Marsilio 2000
The sea of \u200b\u200btrees is a forest near Mount Fuji where thousands of Japanese each year decide to commit suicide. E 'vast and monotonous: once meander is virtually impossible to be recovered. The novel in question takes place somewhere else in the prefecture of Wakayama, near Nara, a town between mountains and sea. A complex history of the genealogy (the top is even given a family tree of the families involved) set these days but since antiquity. Akiyuki is impressed on its mass and mighty strong genetic traits of a father who got pregnant after three women were arrested. An awkward figure, from obscure origins and charisma bestial denies that her son and avoid breeding. Strong family ties woven in a humble people on the margins of Japanese society, despite the wealth gained recently. Professional digger, Akiuki is himself only at the time of the merger with the earth and sun, all that is human, it leads to chaos and confusion allla: sex with sister, comes into violent conflict with his half-brother, he hates the father figure with fear as mythological as dangerous, bestial sex with petite girlfriend and milk. It 's a novel carnal, deeply rooted in the harsh territory and sunny Kii Peninsula, but that does not disdain to build a broader vision of human, not necessarily positive and far from obvious.
