最後の家族

Rate this book
  為什麼我就做不到呢?
  像每個人理所當然聊天、工作、談戀愛、享受人生,
  像一般人一樣去上學,去理解什麼是正常行為。
  但我不想聽到任何人的聲音,不願看到任何人,
  我討厭說話,更厭惡白天的日常……
  爸爸說,家人無論如何一起吃晚飯是很重要的,這是什麼強迫道理?
  媽媽說,加油喔!我都這樣了還加什麼油?
  妹妹說,想搬出家,因為哥哥的暴力,可是我真的不是故意的……
  我投訴,社工人員說:單單靠你的力量,是無法救出任何人的。
  可是,我不是要救別人,我是要救我自己……

  在拯救與被拯救之間,在自立與依賴之間,
  唯有放掉家人彼此的羈絆,才可以找到自己的生存之道。
  村上龍第一本讓人落淚的小說《最後家族》,殘酷而幸福!

About the author

Ryū Murakami

248 books3,918 followers
Ryū Murakami (村上 龍) is a Japanese novelist and filmmaker. He is not related to Haruki Murakami or Takashi Murakami.

Murakami's first work, the short novel Almost Transparent Blue, written while he was still a student, deals with promiscuity and drug use among disaffected Japanese youth. Critically acclaimed as a new style of literature, it won the newcomer's literature prize in 1976 despite some observers decrying it as decadent. Later the same year, Blue won the Akutagawa Prize, going on to become a best seller. In 1980, Murakami published the much longer novel Coin Locker Babies, again to critical acclaim.

Takashi Miike's feature film Audition (1999) was based on one of his novels. Murakami reportedly liked it so much he gave Miike his blessing to adapt Coin Locker Babies. The screen play was worked on by director Jordan Galland. However, Miike could not raise funding for the project. An adaptation directed by Michele Civetta is currently in production.

Murakami has played drums for a rock group called Coelacanth and hosted a TV talk show.

Read in korean. Fun read.
I could feel the author thought with depth about various kinds of relationships among society, family, and individual.
I think the main point of current society problem is that no one is actually an independent individual. People are desperate for socializing. Why? Being alone make them feel nobody.
As a plain being without some kind of definition, like job title at work or something, we don't know how to describe ourselves.
People of bunch of being nobody cannot form a real group or something.

This book shows the progress of each person of Wuchiyama family finding themselves as a conscious, awaken individual.
Except that the end is too simple and unrealistically 'well-done' for everyone; I liked this book.
