"Ogawa is original, elegant, very disturbing."--Hilary Mantel, author of WOLF HALL Praise for The Housekeeper and the Professor: "I've been telling everyone about this book. . . . It's a story about love, which is quite different from a love story. It's one of the most beautiful novels."--Junot Diaz "Gorgeous, cinematic. . . This novel has all the charm and restraint of any by Ishiguro or Kenzaburo Oe, and the whimsy of Murakami."--Los Angeles Times "Strangely charming, flecked with enough wit and mystery to keep us engaged throughout."--The Washington Post Book World Praise for The Diving Pool: "Still waters run dark in these bright yet eerie novellas, whose crisp, almost guileless prose hides unexpected menace."--The New York Times Book Review "Exquisitly disturbing . . . Ogawa steadily builds the tension to an unexpected crescendo."--Elle "Ogawa writes in a lean, muscular way that goes deep, exploring how malevolence coexists with everyday impulse. . . . She creates a memorable unease."--Los Angeles Times

内容简介

A tale of twisted love, from the author of The Diving Pool and The Housekeeper and the Professor In a crumbling seaside hotel on the coast of Japan, quiet seventeen-year-old Mari works the front desk as her mother tends to the off-season customers. When one night they are forced to expel a middle-aged man and a prostitute from their room, Mari finds herself drawn to the man s voice, in what will become the first gesture of a single long seduction. In spite of her provincial surroundings, and her cool but controlling mother, Mari is a sophisticated observer of human desire, and she sees in this man something she has long been looking for. The man is a proud if threadbare translator living on an island off the coast. A widower, there are whispers around town that he may have murdered his wife. Mari begins to visit him on his island, and he soon initiates her into a dark realm of both pain and pleasure, a place in which she finds herself more at ease even than the translator. As Mari s mother begins to close in on the affair, Mari s sense of what is suitable and what is desirable are recklessly engaged. Hotel Iris is a stirring novel about the sometimes violent ways in which we express intimacy and about the untranslatable essence of love.
