Review of 'Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness: Four Short Novels' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
What did the author's mother do to him? Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to translate Japanese, because there is always something sparse in my understanding. But the last story, about a fat doting father and his retarded son, riding on the bike to get pork noodles, visiting the hospital after a monkey attack, it just hurt me kind of like the movie "Julian Donkey Boy" did.
