Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st American edition, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Translated by simon Prentis. Called "the P.D. James of Japan" by the Times Literary SupIement. " Tokyo during the Vietnam War, a young student threatens to take his life and, under the care of Dr. Uemura, a 27-year-old psychologist, confesses to brutally murdering a woman. Trouble is, the woman, Mrs. Owada, a poet and the wife of an airline pilot, is quite alive. As Dr. Uemura, the narrator, uncovers successive layers of deceit that surround his patient's case, he is drawn deeper and deeper into a bizarre world of sexual deviance. In the process, he encounters a college professor who arranges his own cuckoldings; a head nurse who attempts to seduce a patient in order to find out whether or not he's impotent; a woman who keeps her dead friend and perhaps lesbian lover in a freezer; and a party girl whose body is covered with human bite-marks...The author of 20 novels (of which three, including The Master Key, have been translated into English), Togawa is a solid writer, and her skills, added to what is an unbeatable hook, help make the first four chapters riveting..."--Publishers Weekly.
