池袋西口公园

by Ira Ishida, 石田衣良

《池袋西口公园》是青春推理小说“池袋西口公园”系列的第1部。
　　每部小说都包括四个短篇故事，通过主角真岛诚和他的朋友串联在一起。每个故事描述一个犯罪事件，展现现代城市中少年生活的一个侧面。题材黑色，对地下社会与边缘生活描绘精准，同时作者的文笔却非常宽容、温暖，故事一方面保持青年黑暗小说的架构，另一方面具有社会、人情小说的味道。
　　池袋宁静的夏日夜晚，西口公园里隐隐有不安的气氛在空气中骚动。
　　高中毕业后在家当米虫的真岛诚因为绞杀魔事件成为公园里的金田一。他为了找出绞杀魔同时解开好友理香的死谜，以及受托寻找同学猴子爱慕的黑帮公主，而化身多种角色出入黑白两道“办案”。最后他逐渐解开各个谜题，更将变调的公园回复成原有的和平，让红蓝两帮派握手言和，过程惊险万分终于智取谋成。G少年、红天使、援交妹、自闭少年……所有在世俗社会迷失坐标的青少年，都在这座公园烙印下青春颜色，并发现自己的价值。
　　石田衣良具实呈现出经济高度发展又遭逢泡沫化的日本，那些边缘青少年的世界——颓废、堕落、滥交、嗑药、追求极限刺激，狂飙在犯罪界线却是最不虚伪的一群 。

第一次看这种轻描淡写式的不良少年小说，无论做什么，都要能平静面对人生。作者功力不错。
