This book is a collection of essays by Ryu Murakami published in 1993, which caused a violent response in Japanese society.
The title of each article is quite eye-catching. In the words of a critic, it is at the level of "advertising copywriting".
In addition, in his articles, Ryu Murakami made sharp, lively and forward-looking comments on the relationship between men and women in the current society (the decline of patriarchy, the rise of feminism, etc.) Through laughter and scolding, which often makes people marvel.
Like his novels, his collection of essays is also unique and shocking among similar works. It reflects the charming talent of the "literary genius" Ryu Murakami and is quite "appreciative".
Reader comments
This book is sharply playful and extremely realistic. The Japanese version is 30 years ahead of the curve, and we can see the shadow of today's society in them.
It's a very good book. Many issues suddenly became clear to me.
You must understand that as a man, if you have no talent or family background to rely on, and no capital, in this society, everyone can be bullied. Now is a peaceful society, there is no overt bullying, and there are also people who are unwelcome. If you are weak, your parents will bully you.
The point of view of this book is really interesting! Although I am not old enough to consider getting married, I can still understand some of the views on the relationship between men and women in the book. I also agree that men are not all expendable, and I hate men who treat women like nannies. Just like my father, he respects my mother very much and takes care of the family, which makes me feel very happy. I think everyone should find the right person instead of getting married for the sake of getting married. This book made me think more about marriage, it was very inspiring!
1993 Book. The author is Japanese, but he said a lot of things. China is also slowly emerging. Very strange.
Unique. Very Japanese, men and women are tool people.

Nice to listen to, meaty but not vulgar
Write about the anxiety of Japanese social transformation at that time and provide material for attacking each other now.
