He became day by day “more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the feelings of others.” He cursed his wife and eventually came to inflict violence upon her. Over time, the narrator’s temperament changed. The cat was named Pluto and he was the narrator’s favorite pet. The narrator and his wife loved the cat, but his wife often, albeit jokingly, referenced the old adage that black cats were witches in disguise. One of the pets was a beautiful black cat without a single white bit of fur. When he married, it was to a woman with the same disposition as him, and they had many pets. He never felt happier than when he was caressing an animal. All he wants to do now is unburden his soul and lay before the reader “a series of mere household events.” To him, they seem to be nothing but horror, but perhaps someday someone can explain them away by natural causes and effects.įrom childhood, the narrator was known for his docility and compassion, particularly towards animals. He knows his narrative will invite disbelief, but he promises he is neither lying nor dreaming. The narrator is giving his story while in jail he is going to be put to death tomorrow. Annabelle spirals downhill: her mental and physical health fade, she is overweight and overbuys, she hoards and is threatened with eviction. When his Japanese jazz musician father is hit by a truck and dies, his life with his mother Annabelle unravels. It seems despairing yet is an elating and highly memorable novel, with intriguing conceits and fascinating, unconventional characters and relationships. While not set in Japan, it has some Japanese content. Naturally I prioritised reading Ozeki’s new novel, The Book of Form and Emptiness (Text Publishing). I seek out novels by Japanese authors (Ozeki’s mother is Japanese) and beautifully conceived novels set in Japan such as A Tale for the Time Being by Ozeki, The Snow Kimono by Mark Henshaw (Text Publishing, which I have reviewed ), Dreams of Speaking by Gail Jones, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell, The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness and the novels of Liane Moriarty and Haruki Murakami. |
