Poison Laughter Novel (2018 Edition)
About This Novel
A rare collection of short stories by Higashino Keigo, consisting of 12 short stories. The author Keigo Higashino said: Every time before writing "something that makes people laugh," I would seriously think about "why people laugh." I couldn't help but think of the vagaries of the human heart, so I focused on the funnyness and ugliness of human beings. "The Novel of Poisonous Laughter" is such a work. Summary of the story of "Poison Laughter Novel": I killed my wife and came to the police station to surrender. The police did not arrest me, but they kept saying: "Your wife was killed. We deeply sympathize. Now we are fully investigating and will definitely arrest the murderer." I am a single man. One day I received a call from a kidnapper claiming to be: "I kidnapped a child. This has nothing to do with you, but the kidnapping of the child's parents makes me feel guilty, so I decided to ask you to pay the ransom." "Alas, Japan is almost dead."

At first, it was because the name attracted me. Of course, I also like Higashino's books. Each story is very interesting, short and concise, and satirizes social phenomena and some systems. Although it reflects the reality of Japan, it still has reference significance for us and is thought-provoking~
