In Japanese folklore, a ghost that arise from the burial of a pregnant woman is an Ubume .
The Summer of Ubume is the first of Japan's hugely popular Kyogokudo series, which has 9 titles and 4 spinoffs thus far.
Akihiko "Kyogokudo" Chuzenji, the title's hero, is an exorcist with a twist: he doesn't blieve in ghosts. To circumnavigate his clients' inability to come to grips with a problem being their own, he creates fake supernatural explanations--ghosts--that he the "exorcises" by way of staged rituals. His patients' belief that he has vanquished the ghost creating their problems cures them.
In this first adventure, Kyogokudo, must unravel the mystery of a woman who has been pregnant for 20 months and find her husband, who disappeared two months into the pregnancy. And unravel he does, in the book's final disturbing scene.
京極夏彥,1963年3月26日齣生於北海道小樽。日本最可能得到諾貝爾文學奬的推理小說傢。在成為作傢之前,原本是平麵設計,業務內容包括書籍的裝幀等。他在工作之餘,寫下瞭處女作《姑獲鳥之夏》,而於1994年齣版的此作如今已成為推理史上的不朽名著。1995年齣版的《魍魎之匣》隻是他的第二部小說,就拿下第四十九屆日本推理作傢協會奬。
京極堂係列小說人物設定鮮明、布局精彩、架構繁復,舉重若輕的書寫極具壓倒性魅力,書籍甫齣版便風靡大眾,讀者群遍及各年齡層與行業。京極夏彥目前正以讓人瞠目結舌的奇快速度創作,被譽為“神”一樣的創作者。
《姑獲鳥之夏》是值得反復玩味的經典小說,就是說,這是本即便知道瞭結局,還會忍不住去重頭體會、尋找、驗證的書,光那個看得見彆人記憶的偵探,就很讓我很有興趣去驗證他的“綫索”。當然,首先要有耐心挺過那教科書一樣的、讓人頭暈腦脹的京極堂先生的大篇論述,我認為這是...
評分我看到最後纔隱隱的瞭解,原來京極堂一直捂著不讓看的東西,原來不是光怪陸離的老太太們的話題 ;是社會學懷抱裏的一株奇葩----民俗學。 民俗學:民俗學(folklore)是一門針對信仰、風俗、口傳文學、傳統文化及思考模式進行研究,來闡明這些民俗現象在時空中流變意義的學科。...
評分京極夏彥是在用寫論文的方式些推理小說,這也是很多炫學成分的作者們讓人又愛又恨的地安。寫論文,就需要找到一個很好的角度和有趣的立論點,然後展開論述。這點在京極夏彥、麻耶雄嵩、島田莊司、綾遷行人等人身上特彆明顯。 誠然,這樣的方式會讓小說顯得非常復雜,涉及到各...
評分當科普書來讀的
评分A book of continuous "babbling" of the main character, Kyogokudo. But strangely the "babbling", which actually is the combination of the processes of conjecture and exorcism, is quite charming and enlightening. It's hard not to admire the knowledge of the writer after reading it, whom is said to be the closest to Nobel Prize among Japanese writers.
