Description

[Machine Translation] What happened to me in the fall of 1981. I finally decided to write about it. The year was 1981. It was the final year of high school. At Buckley, a school for wealthy girls and women, I was having sex with the boys while keeping up with the popular kids, and at home I was working on a novel called "Less Than Zero". While we were spending our days enjoying ourselves, strange things were happening all around us. Cult groups were popping up. The statue of Griffin on campus has been desecrated by someone with a dead carp, and a serial killer named "The Tow Netter" is quietly on the prowl. I didn't know at that time what horrible things it would cause.... Enjoyment. Emptiness. Senselessness. After 13 years of silence, this is the culmination of a masterpiece by an American literary genius.

Description in Japanese

いくつもの鋭い破片 上 / 原タイトル:THE SHARDS / ブレット・イーストン・エリス/著 品川亮/訳

1981年秋に僕に起きたこと。それを僕はついに書くことにした。あの恐ろしい出来事を。81年。ハイスクールの最終学年。裕福な子女ばかりが通うバックリー校で、僕は人気者の子たちと調子を合わせながら、男子たちとセックスに耽り、家では『レス・ザン・ゼロ』という小説を書き進めていた。僕らが享楽の日々を過ごす一方、周囲には奇怪な出来事が頻々として起きていた―不法侵入事件の多発。カルト集団の出没。校内のグリフィン像は何者かによって鯉の死骸で冒涜され、〈曳き網使い〉なるシリアル・キラーが静かに徘徊していた。それがどんな恐ろしいことを引き起こすのか、あのときの僕はまだ知らなかった...。享楽。虚無。無感覚。何か取り返しのつかないことが起こる予感。80年代の頽廃をエリスの不穏な声がじわりじわりと綴ってゆく。13年の沈黙を破って放たれた、米文学の鬼才の集大成的傑作。
