Description



About the Book



Fifteen stories in which poisonous flowers, unsettling animals, rural rituals, and overgrown gardens fracture everyday life. Hiroko Oyamada, author of *The Hole*, returns with a magnetic, subtle, and disquieting book: an immersion into the strangest, most beautiful, and most ominous side of Japan. A woman returns to her family home only to find herself ensnared in an ancestral ritual; red flowers linked to death invade a garden -- and a family lineage; a gecko clinging to a window transforms a pregnancy into an almost hallucinatory experience; a young boy discovers a wild, secret territory within a neighbor's garden. In *Garden*, Hiroko Oyamada gathers fifteen tales in which insects, plants, dogs, frogs, tadpoles, crabs, and spiders are not mere presences of the natural world, but silent forces that alter perception, erode routine, and open a door to the inexplicable. With precise, oblique, and addictive prose, Oyamada constructs a map of intimate anxieties -- motherhood, marriage, childhood, grief, familial pressure, the strangeness of the body -- and subjects them to a slow, fantastic contamination. The domestic, the vegetal, and the animal intertwine with a chilling naturalness, creating a unique atmosphere that is at once delicate and menacing. A master of subtle, deeply Japanese suspense, Oyamada transforms each story into a fissure through which the uncanny seeps in.



About the Author



Nació en Hiroshima, en 1983. Tras graduarse en la universidad de la que fue escenario del primer bombardeo atómico de la historia, encadenó múltiples oficios precarios y desempeños mecánicos infructuosos, que coparon su mente durante horas y que quedaron irremediablemente reflejados en sus textos. Tal sería el caso de su primera novela, La Fábrica (2019), donde su experiencia en una cadena de montaje de coches le permitió reflexionar sobre la inquietud que le generó aquel trabajo y esbozar su preocupación literaria principal: la oscuridad que rezuma aferrarse a las percepciones. La andadura de su segunda novela que ahora publicamos en Impedimenta, Agujero (2020), coincidió en el tiempo con su traslado al campo, circunstancia clave que, en palabras de la autora, le obsequió con la imagen final del libro. Oyamada cuenta en su haber con los siguientes galardones: el Schincho Prize for New Writers en 2010 por su primera novela, así como con el Akutagawa Prize por la segunda, mención literaria, sin duda, más relevante en Japón. Franz Kafka y Haruki Murakami poseen gran influencia en su escritura. Su valor literario, así como el prestigio del que disfruta su obra hacen de ella una de las autoras niponas contemporáneas más importantes.
