una reflexión sobre lo efímera que es la vida ante la muerte desde un punto de vista que roza lo perturbador

Ini sepertinya karya Yasunari Kawabata yang pertama yg saya baca. Sebenarnya ceritanya lumayan menarik, cumaaaa...terjemahannya beneran terasa baheula, kurang enak aja gitu.
Bercerita tentang laki-laki tua yang datang berkali-kali ke rumah perawan. Rumah perawan ini menyediakan layanan kepada para lelaki (yang diceritakan pada tua) untuk tidur dengan perempuan yang ditidurkan, diberi obat tidur/bius gitu. Jadi mau digimanain gadia itu gak akan bangun. Walau diceritakan secara gamblang, tapi gak kerasa kayak novel erotis juga sih. Eguci tua setiap bertemu dengan gadis di rumah tersebut bawaannya keinget masa muda mulu. ya mungkin emang itu yang dicari.

(Review based in my own opinion).
Okay. I wish I could give 0 stars to thisthing book. I'm going to state right now that I'm not usually attracted to erotic writings (even though I'm currently trying to read a New Adult novel right now), but I had to read this for class. It was a short book, so I thought I wouldn't care.
Wrong.
I care.
All I can say about the book is everything in it is Wrong, with capital W. It's a book about a 67-years-old man sleeping naked with drugged-and-naked women, one of those is a 16-year-old girl. Oh, c'mon. You've got to be kidding me with this. (SPOILERSPOILER: And he actually kisses the girl? Like, seriously? YOU ARE 67, for God's sake).
I'll just leave this here. I felt the writing was nothing special, the story was boring and discusting, the main character wasn't interesting whatsoever and this is most probably the last Japanese book I'm reading this year.
