・ Great review for Heaven in @metropolistokyo Glad to read such amazing review. "……As for her style here, it describes an arc that’s indeed quirky but without being surrealistic or satirical. Moreover, her thrown voice via the largely androgynous adolescent persona is rich with atmospherics but short on the revelatory —the ‘narrator’s-a-dude moment’ one exception. The nonchalant rambling in the epistolary sections do go on but are nonetheless refreshing —even heartening. Not plotty by any means, the novel is by default character-driven and literary. Which brings us now to the ending. Since endings aren’t for reviewers to give away, this one can only say: Go through hell to get to “Heaven.” #miekokawakami#川上未映子
