I'm not a fan of Honobu Yonezawa, I avoid his popular 'teenage detective manga/novel series' like plague (in my mind, nothing is more ridiculous than a 'detective novel' with no one getting killed), but this short story collection of Mr. Yonezawa: "The Feast of the Illusory Lambs" completely blows me away.

The short stories all revolve around a book club formed by highly educated young women from privileged families...but of course the book club is more than just a group of privileged girls sitting around to read books peacefully, the more you read the more you can tell there's something deeper going on with the club and its members.

Each short story tells a different tale about a club member, and there're a lot of description about those young mistresses and their relationships with their maid servants (mostly of the same age), there're different mysteries in each of the story, and almost all of them are imaginative, frightening, twisted and Gothic to the bone. I equally enjoy how legendary authors such as Poe, Edogawa Rampo, Yumeno Kyūsaku, Stanley Ellin etc are referred in different tales.

Strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys their reading material elegant, dark and Gothic and with highly surprising twists.

Review of version:

羔羊的盛宴 Translator: 徐奕
ISBN: 9787020153459

A rather strange and truly macabre anthology that sort of draws you in - compact yet effective writing. The stories are united through the Babylon Book Club - good to read in order so that the themes permeate across and conclude at the end.

So this book is all about Psychopath Killer. Yes, Honobu Yonezawa is the author of Hyouka, which is peaceful, but after reading more and more his novel I found him quite like writing about Psychopath. So please be aware this book is not for peace seeker

I love this story. 

あとがきでは「決して相いれない」と断ぜられている彼女たちに私はどうしようもなく共感するし、きっと、わたしにもバベルの会はいつようだと、思っている。
そして多分。ここもまたその社交場であるのだ。それが、わたしはうれしい。

一开始从题材上以为作者是比较早年代的人,后来发现其实作为作家还很年轻。有些故事总觉得有点过于荒诞,像是故意解构。最后的故事串起了全书,非常棒

这本巴比伦大碧池会的短故事读的让人提不起劲,花了我两年才断断续续用碎片时间读完。2020年人文版有几个结局翻译有偏差,具体错误看豆瓣高分短评

看的其实是人民文学社译本 译得很糟糕 最喜欢的第三篇 飞鸡馆管家的故事还故意误导了读者 可以想象日语文风是那种扭扭捏捏的阴暗感 可惜了 最喜欢第三篇 寂寞啊 能理解那种秋水长天凉兮兮的寂寞感 因为此时此刻在读此本书的我也能感觉到

広告されているほどのインパクトがあるようなストーリーではないし、明治時代ごろの貴族の日本語調で書かれていて、その物語の世界に入り込みやすくはなっていいという人もいるだろうけど、個人的にはそれが原因で読む進めるのに時間かかった。ミステリー系の短編小説が私の好みではないのかもしれない、と気付かされたので、ありがとう。

This is my first time to read works by Honobu Yonezawa. I am usually not a big fan of a short story, but surprise, surprise! These are not bad at all. He successfully created a gothic atmosphere with the story setting and using old-fashioned talking style. Each ending is quite beautiful. I really enjoyed them.

除了「詭異」以外想不到更貼切的形容,然而因這股詭異感,讀後興奮不已的自己,是不是某種程度上也蠻扭曲的呢?

對米澤穗信的印象一直停留在寂寞卻帶有溫暖,因此在看完第一章〈我的親人發生了意外〉時,忍不住翻回書封確認作者,不過這種新奇的部分也令人著迷呢!

光鮮亮麗的巴比倫之會背後,卻是一個個思想脫韁的少女,但即使常人眼中無法認同,那也是她們的正解吧。
