The Boy in the Earth by Fuminori Nakamura

3.0

This is less a short story and more a character study. It delves into the mind of a man who has a history of being abused. The story unfolds as he reveals past traumas and you begin to see how they are affecting him ad his life today.

Can people recover from traumatic experiences?
When is life worth living?

Definitely a short and interesting read. I need to read it again to begin to process the themes and allusions.
