HTML:<p><strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE</strong></p> <p><strong>From the bestselling author of</strong> <strong>Breasts and Eggs</strong> <strong>and international literary sensation Mieko Kawakami, a sharp and illuminating novel about the impact of violence and the power of solidarity.</strong></p> <p>A bold foray into new literary territory, Kawakami's novel is told in the voice of a 14-year-old student subjected to relentless torment for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting, the boy chooses to suffer in complete resignation. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors.</p> <p>These raw and realistic portrayals of bullying are counterbalanced by textured exposition of the philosophical and religious debates concerning violence to which the weak are subjected.</p> <p>Heaven stands as a dazzling testament to Kawakami's literary talent. There can be little doubt that it has cemented her reputation as one of today's most important young authors working to expand the boundaries of contemporary Japanese literature.</p> <p><strong>A New York Times, Washington Post, TIME, Oprah Daily, CNN, Bustle, and Ms. Magazine most anticipated book of the year.<br /></strong></p> <p><strong>A June 2021 Indie Next Pick</strong></p>.
