Nozomi Omori (book reviewer and translator) said, “In the history of science fiction, there are almost no examples of debut works as original as this one.” “This is an unusual monument that stands in the far north of modern Japanese science fiction, and is a masterpiece of science fiction imagination. Denpo Torishima, who made his debut with “Perfect Attendance,” which was praised as “a milestone showing the longest reach,” won the 34th Japan SF Award in 2013 for a series of works that included this work. In 2019, he won his second 40th Japan SF Award for his first full-length novel, “Yadoboruta no Hoshi,” making him the second person in history to achieve this feat after Hirotaka Hirotaka.
Approximately four years later, the long-awaited long-awaited full-length novel “Kaadete Nufuretsun” has finally been released. This work is based on a short story with the same title that was published in “Newly Written Japanese SF Collection NOVA Babel” (edited by Nozomi Omori, Kawade Bunko) in 2014, when Torishima won the Japan SF Award for the first time. This is a moving entertainment feature that took 9 years to create and is a new frontier for Mr. Torishima.
After the climactic prologue “Introduction,” a fascinating and life-filled story begins quietly, reminiscent of the classic TV animation “World Masterpiece Theater” and the 19th century writer Charles Dickens.
However, this strange world hid a fierce mystery.
Please enjoy the best feature-length science fiction work that is suitable for the end of 2023.
[Synopsis]
Earth (Tamatsuchi) —
People lived in eight huts scattered around the area.
Five suns were constantly circling around that spherical world. The sun in the desert of Linanice died, and there were four suns. Linanice survived and sealed away Kanade’s past.
And Linanice gave birth to Jiranze, and Jiranze gave birth to Nuhretsun. An epic story that spans three generations of parents and children is about to begin.
Can you hear the hymn of life that fills the earth?
