East Asian Literary Fiction
by Maciej Kamuda
A class of junior high students is taken to a remote island and forced to kill each other until only one survives, part of a totalitarian government program. Takami's brutal, high-octane novel examines authority, loyalty, and desperation as children are turned into murderers. A nightmare of state violence and adolescent trauma.
