As predicted, I cried my heart out. My flatmate must have heard. Can't remember the last time a book made me cry so hard.

I'm reading a story but I'm scared of it because I know I will cry heartily through it. Don't be deceived by the sparse, simple language of this book. Each of the stories is designed to involve deeply flawed characters. Also, Kawaguchi is a playwright and he adapted this from one of his award-winning plays. Which explains A LOT about its stage-like atmosphere and all the "rules". I'd love to watch it live.
