我回想起刚踏上作家之路时的自己，决定在《歪笑小说》里自嘲一番。 东野圭吾著的《歪笑小说（精）》里主要有两个年轻的主人公——自我感觉太好的热海圭介和身为推理小说家的普通青年只野六郎，书中他们一次次失败的故事，就基于我的真实经历。 得知小说要被改编成影视剧时。我和书中的热海圭介一样高兴得忘乎所以，想当然地认为既然是原著作者，自然可以指定演员。无疑．我梦想着一举成为畅销作家。书中只野六郎参加文学界高尔夫球赛的故事．也来源于我的真实经历，被了不起的前辈问到话时吞吞吐吐．正是二十年前的我自己。

Keigo Higashino (東野 圭吾) is one of the most popular and biggest selling fiction authors in Japan—as well known as James Patterson, Dean Koontz or Tom Clancy are in the USA.
Born in Osaka, he started writing novels while still working as an engineer at Nippon Denso Co. (presently DENSO). He won the Edogawa Rampo Prize, which is awarded annually to the finest mystery work, in 1985 for the novel Hōkago (After School) at age 27. Subsequently, he quit his job and started a career as a writer in Tokyo.
In 1999, he won the Mystery Writers of Japan Inc award for the novel Himitsu (The Secret), which was translated into English by Kerim Yasar and published by Vertical under the title of Naoko in 2004. In 2006, he won the 134th Naoki Prize for Yōgisha X no Kenshin. His novels had been nominated five times before winning with this novel.
The Devotion of Suspect X was the second highest selling book in all of Japan— fiction or nonfiction—the year it was published, with over 800,000 copies sold. It won the prestigious Naoki Prize for Best Novel— the Japanese equivalent of the National Book Award and the Man Booker Prize. Made into a motion picture in Japan, The Devotion of Suspect X spent 4 weeks at the top of the box office and was the third highest‐grossing film of the year.
Higashino’s novels have more movie and TV series adaptations than Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, and as many as Michael Crichton.

If you wanted to know more about the in-jokes from within the publishing industry, this book is for you! You guessed it! It's one of those 'Ha-ha-ha' books that makes fun of novelists, editors and the publishers! And all is in good fun!
I almost wanted to give this book 3 stars due to the lack of depth in those stories, but the entertainment value is undeniably huge so I upgraded it into 3.8 stars.
PS: although it is still sad to know even in a country such as Japan, which is known for its strong publishing industry and a huge reading population, the selling rates are still going low and the publishers still need to struggle for survival. There is no hope left for the rest of us.

Not related to detective stories nor mysterious stories, this book is about publishing business as well as writers. 12 seemingly unrelated yet connected stories will let you know more about the field whilst giving you a bit of chuckles.

几个小故事组合起来的，每个故事之间都有联系，挺有意思的。东野圭吾作为一个作家来写作家和编辑之间的故事，哈哈，说不定是由真实事件改编呢。有些情节真是让人哑然失笑，不过结束得似乎有点仓促啊。

很有趣的一本短篇小说，把文艺界出版界的“黑幕”以爆笑的方式呈现出来。
