Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids by Kenzaburō Ōe
4.0
This was quite good~
I don't really understand the concept of the reformatory group (why are they brought to this village to begin with? Who is in charge of them? Why is the brother there if he didn't actually do anything wrong?) but the story was still very compelling despite my questions. Though I did constantly wonder how old these kids are, and I never quite figured it out.
Anyway, a compelling and dark story. Adults are the worst.
