Symmetry is a short 'detective and crime' stories collection, the plots revolve around a policewoman who works among the outer regions of Tokyo.

To tell the truth, there isn't much 'game of wits' aspect in those short stories because the author had focused more on revealing the mentality of the criminals and his MC's development as both a policewoman and a character, but as a whole it is still an enjoyable, easy read. 3.5 stars.

〈別用右手捶牆〉裡的作者觀點明顯到了主角的設定被否定地徹底。

「雖然她似乎決定表現出漠不關心的樣子,但皮膚細緻的臉頰看起來很緊張,有點像被討厭的男人逼迫發生性關係時的表情。即使她看起來可愛得要命,卻讓人火冒三丈。男人看到這種表情,會想要強暴她吧?」(頁87)
這一段是姬川在偵訊室裡面對著援助交際的女高中生時心裡的想法描述。
「只是殺人兇手?那你又是什麼?你不僅是殺人兇手,還是不乾不淨的妓女。」(頁102)
這一段是姬川在女高中生未意識到其行為導致數人死亡時,抓著女高中生所說出的話。本文也多次出現姬川指稱援交的女高中生為妓女時的輕蔑,包含「只要有錢,願意對任何男人張開雙腿」的描述。
作者讓姬川駁斥女高中生的論點在於社會性,社會上的風俗產業之所以被認同在於繳稅,所以參與了社會經濟消費,變相指稱女學生的援助交際並未對於社會有所付出,卻讓收穫(援交後獲得的金錢)歸於個人。全文的描寫方式也都在暗示援助交際的最大問題就是女學生們本身。

原文成書於2008年,我不清楚當時援助交際的實際狀況及衍生的社會問題。但這題材的處理方式,讓我覺得作者要不曾經在遇上女高中生時吃過虧,要不就是想寫出新意找一個不同的切入點卻不小心切到自己。
作者到底還記不記得這系列的主角姬川被他設定為過往曾遇過陌生人性侵?且後續的案件庭審,姬川還曾駁斥辯方律師:反抗得不夠激烈就不是反抗了嗎?
一個照理來說應該清楚知道在性行為當中,女性所具有的主體意識常被扼殺的角色,卻說出了無視女性主體意識的言論。還說了社會性這種屁話,好像女人只要藉由性來賺錢,她的陰道就可以屬於整個社會卻不能屬於她自己一樣。

我很喜歡日劇版的草莓之夜,但小說一則短、二則輕、三則不算太出彩,所以一直都是亂看一下……這一本倒真是有點雷到我,隨便翻到完,也不想認真吐嘈……也不是吐嘈,突然有點不想看到那樣的價值觀用這樣一個理所當然的方式呈現吧。感覺很膩,而且是個有點落後的說教XD

我還蠻喜歡草莓之夜這系列的小說,每一本都有一個主題。但這次的小說比較像是塑造姬川的人格,偵探的部分比較薄弱。
