Хироко Оямада Weasels in the Attic
ISBN: 9781783789757 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Granta Books Аннотация
Two friends meet across three dinners. In the back room of a pet shop, they snack on dried shrimps and discuss fish-breeding. In a remote new home in the mountains, they look for a solution to a weasel infestation. During a dinner party in a blizzard, a mounting claustrophobia makes way for uneasy dreams. Their conversations often take them in surprising directions, but when one of the men becomes a father, more and more is left unsaid.
With emotional acuity and a wry humour, Weasels in the Attic it is an uncanny and striking reflection on fertility, masculinity, and marriage in contemporary Japan. -
Хироко Оямада Нора
ISBN: 978-5-6047106-8-5 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Поляндрия NoAge Язык: Русский Аннотация
Жара, знойное лето, японская деревня. Аса пытается приспособиться к жизни за городом: к удаленности от цивилизации, постоянному присутствию странных родственников супруга и вечному стрекотанию цикад. Казалось бы, завязка не обещает ничего оригинального. Но в историях Оямады нет места банальности. Наоборот, представьте себе смесь прозы Льюиса Кэрролла, фильмов…

Hiroko Oyamada The Hole
ISBN: 0811228878, 9780811228879 Год издания: 2020 Издательство: New Directions Язык: Английский Аннотация
Asa’s husband is transferring jobs, and his new office is located near his family’s home in the countryside. During an exceptionally hot summer, the young married couple move in, and Asa does her best to quickly adjust to their new rural lives, to their remoteness, to the constant presence of her in-laws and the incessant buzz of cicadas. While her husband is consumed with his job, Asa is left to explore her surroundings on her own: she makes trips to the supermarket, halfheartedly looks for work, and tries to find interesting ways of killing time.
One day, while running an errand for her mother-in-law, she comes across a strange creature, follows it to the embankment of a river, and ends up falling into a hole―a hole that seems to have been made specifically for her. This is the first in a series of bizarre experiences that drive Asa deeper into the mysteries of this rural landscape filled with eccentric characters and unidentifiable creatures, leading her to question her role in this world, and eventually, her sanity. -
Хироко Оямада The Factory
ISBN: 0811228851 Год издания: 2019 Издательство: New Directions Publishing Язык: Английский Аннотация
The English-language debut of one of Japan's most exciting new writers, The Factory follows three workers at a sprawling industrial factory. Each worker focuses intently on the specific task they've been assigned: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. But their lives slowly become governed by their work―days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while―it could be weeks or years―the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: What am I doing here?
With hints of Kafka and unexpected moments of creeping humor, The Factory casts a vivid―and sometimes surreal―portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.
