凌駕史蒂芬‧金的幻想之美!
以壓倒性奇幻風格魅惑讀者的鬼才,
恒川光太郎的最高傑作!
不可思議之地──美奧所編織出來的,
關於死亡與再生的故事。
再等一下,我就要離開這裡了。
但我要去的,不是你們所在的世界。
在那個微風吹拂下的夢幻草原,
所有的憤怒和悲傷都將靜靜腐朽……
旅人走進一塊土地,鑽過橋下沿著水渠爬上石階,眼前突然出現一片開闊的陌生原野,在那裡,一名逐漸幻化成獸的男孩,與被他殺死的母親,乘著遠古的風,正要前往遼闊的世界。
旅人繼續往前,散發古意的木造老房子櫛比鱗次,瓦片屋頂上像猴子又像狒狒的東西,突然耳語起來:有一樁高中女生的霸凌事件正在秘密進行,得想想辦法才行。
在夏日的蟬聲中,旅人被神秘的氣氛誘使,沿著鐵路走進森林。那裡有一棟民房,他在半掩的門扉裡,看見為父母問題所惱的女孩,正在進行「解苦」。
這地方真是奇妙啊!旅人邊想著邊再度穿梭。他發現一名男子倚著樹,和一頭小熊一起睡午覺。旅人喚醒男子詢問:「這地方叫什麼名字?」男子抬頭應了一句:「景致優美的山奧。」於是從此人們稱呼這個地方叫「美奧」……
這是關於「美奧」的五個物語。在這裡,死亡也許是另一種形式的再生,而痛苦和憂傷都將在夢境中消失。日本天才作家恒川光太郎以驚人的想像力,將美奧這個充滿奇異魅惑的幻境深刻地留在每個人心中,靜謐與騷動交織的氛圍,也讓這本書彷若一個秘密基地,溫暖又迷人!

A collection of short stories, all connected, some more subtly than others. As usual, Tsunekawa's grasp of pacing and mood serve him well, and each story is an engaging read on its own, but part of the pleasure of this book definitely comes from seeing connections being made and pieces falling into place. If you're a fan of any of Tsunekawa's other works, make sure to pick up this book as well.

混雜著精怪、奇想以及一點意識流。其實各篇作為獨立單篇還蠻好的,但是特意要串起來就有點畫蛇添足。
