Some people say that Keigo Higashino is a smart man who pursues perfection, and Otsuichi is a gifted dead pervert.

I don't agree with the term "dead pervert", but I never question his talent. His writing style is not so much calm and objective as indifferent and detached, as if divorced from reality forever, and his narrative technique is neither too slow nor too happy.

So, you don't have to follow Soji Shimada on the Shinkansen and go back and forth in the complicated Wang Yang, and you don't have to pay attention to Keigo Higashino's stab in the back, let alone worry about Xia Yangong's long chatter.

Because that man named Otsuichi has washed his hands of it, which has nothing to do with this story.

1996, Otsuichi won the 6th JUMP Fiction and Non-fiction Award for her debut novel "Summer Fireworks My Body". That's a party club, gentlemen! .

He 17 years old that year, and I was still an embryo.

There are two tendencies in Otsuichi's works: "Black Otsuichi" based on cruelty and blood and "White Otsuichi" based on healing warmth.

Summer fireworks My body is the representative of Otsuichi, black Otsuichi style.

This work describes children's innocence and malice from the first perspective of the dead "I" in a plain everyday style.

A story that happened at a fireworks party in summer, a story in which every environmental description was very enthusiastic, almost burned the arm, but it made people cold to the bone.

A 9-year-old girl, a 1 1 year-old boy, a kind and reliable big sister in a peaceful day, and Qi Xin worked together to completely erase the trace of a 9-year-old child.

As Otsuichi's first works, Fireworks in Summer and Rotting Bodies in May have to make people marvel at his writing and lines.

When I think that Otsuichi, who wrote such a cold-blooded and cruel story, was still a child, I feel a little depressed when I read it again.

"Through the thin coat, I felt a hot little hand on my back, which was the palm of Yayoi's hand. I just thought for a moment, and that hand pushed me out hard. "

"From the nostrils, ears, and always shed tears. The whole cave shed crimson blood. Although there is only a little bit, I feel sad when I think that A Jian will see such a face. "

-"Summer Fireworks My Body"

Gothic Broken Palm is also the masterpiece of Black Otsuichi, and it also won the third Bengel Prize for Otsuichi's reasoning.

Goth is composed of six independent short stories: Dark Department, Broken Palm, Dog, Memory, The Earth and Sound. The protagonists are "I" Kamiyama Itsuki and my classmate Morino Night.

Out of their love for Goth, the two gradually approached and began to pursue a series of bizarre cases around them to spy on the murderer's inner world.

Zoo consists of ten imaginative and difficult-to-classify pearl and jade works, such as trinkets and appearances, Finding the way out, Poems of Xiangyang, SOFAR, and Little White House in Cold Forest.

In Otsuichi's stories, there is usually a very strange setting, which is fully displayed in the short story of Zoo.

I can't see or hear my father's voice. I only see my mother's children.

A teenager who kills people everywhere to find a body in order to establish a safe haven of his own in the depths of the forest.

Every night at six o'clock, a person will die, and the next day he will be stuffed into seven rooms of a new person.

A man who goes back and forth every day in the grief of his girlfriend's murder, in the hopeless pursuit and in the despair of knowing the truth.

At that time, Japanese critics commented on Otsuichi, "This is a story that only criminals can write."

The Wounded Child is different from the above works, and it is a pure "white Otsuichi" style work.

Ren Chao is a simple and introverted little boy. He has a special ability to transfer the pain of others to himself. While giving others health, he bears all the pain.

The teenager's body is thin and slender, but it is full of scars. There is a big and striking wound between the staggered scars on his stomach, which was left by his mother.

Ren Chao is such a gentle child. Even though he experienced inhuman cruelty in his childhood, even though he was covered in scales, he still did not hesitate to transfer the pain of his friends, even those incurable mental pains.

"The depth of the wound and the degree of pain are half that of a person, and two people can share it in half. Half a scar, half a sadness. "

I saw Otsuichi, a novelist who wrote Glug, and most of his protagonists were lonely and failed.

A puppet made of a broken ladder.

In dark fairy tales, the girl whose eyes fell off and her personality changed greatly after she put on new eyes was strongly abused by her mother.

The first communication obstacle to call you is "I haven't talked to anyone for three months." Female high school students.

But at the same time, his writing also makes people feel very warm.

If you want to write words that make people feel warm, "one is the instinct for help, and the other is not a bright heart, but a heart with a deep understanding of darkness." The more you experience darkness, the more you can write gentle words. "

So Otsuichi's protagonist doesn't have any friends. He was always bullied and abused, and occasionally murdered and dismembered. He was cruel and indifferent to the bottom of Mariana Trench, but he met someone who recognized him in the most desperate time.

The most warm thing is never icing on the cake, but giving timely help.

Finally, attach teacher Otsuichi's spit:

"At the same time, I also have a slight phobia about the word heartache. I didn't deliberately take heartache as a selling point. Of course, if it's really heartbreaking, you can't sell it without such a banner book ... But I think such a sales method is actually to touch the noble part of human nature with the dirty hands of capitalism, just like those religious models that turn believers' prayers into money. I'm afraid this is my worry! "
