Description

During the hot, dry summer of 1988, in a forgotten neighborhood known as the riverside, seventeen-year-old Shinogaki Toma is entangled in a desperate struggle against what he believes to be his fate to become his sadistic father. Consumed by a fear that he will harm his girlfriend, Tomaโ€™s downward spiral into depression and instability becomes increasingly intense. Tomaโ€™s mother left his father long ago and now lives nearby as a fishmonger. Using the hook that replaced the hand she lost during wartime bombings, she guts the eels Toma catches in the sewage-filled river for his father to eat. Things come to a head when Kotoko, his fatherโ€™s live in girlfriend, becomes pregnant and makes the decision to leave the riverside for a better life.Translated from Japanese by Kalau Almony, Tanaka Shinyaโ€™s Akutagawa Prize-winning masterpiece, Cannibals, sold over 200,000 copies in Japan and was adapted into a movie by Cannes Film Festival-winner Shinji Aoyama.
