This book is so weird and funny. It concerns a girl who happens to be filming a meme video behind Shinzo Abe when he gets plugged, so all the internet crazies think she's the mastermind behind the assassination. The first work that truly captures the spirit and texture of our profoundly stupid era.

Still need to finish the essay included afterward, but wow. Very well done, also very understandable why it didn’t get officially published in Japan due to the content.

I hope I can discuss it with a class someday

Happy news today: my copy of F by Imai Arata from @glacierbaybooks.com , arrived in the mail! The outer design is gorgeous and the story is intriguing so far. I’m looking forward to reading through the rest. :D

AND it features back-trouble solidarity, which is something I'll always celebrate. Fiction rarely gets bad backs right.

This book was full of things I didn't expect—and that, it turns out, can be a very very good thing.

Another highlight from my Best Reads Of 2024 list.

Flash Point by Imai Arata (translated by Ryan Homberg, lettered by Lauren Eldon), simply, is charming. It's funny, nutty, lightly jaded, kind of pleasantly unhinged.

Mashiro é uma jovem que deixa de ir a escola por um problema com os colegas. Como uma piada inofensiva, ela e o cunhado desempregado começam a fazer vídeos parvos no Instagram, gerando milhões de visualizações. Quando ela é vista num direto no comício de Shinzo Abe, a diversão toma um rumo completamente surreal e assustador. Como se sabe, a 8 de Julho de 2022, o ex-primeiro ministro é morto a tiros. Na era da pós-verdade ela torna-se símbolo de diversos movimentos e é envolvida em teorias da conspiração.
