tokyo writer

She leaned lightly on the bookshelf and looked at it. After more than 20 minutes of reading, she felt more and more disappointed.

What is this content?The reasoning technique is boring to death, there are a lot of irrelevant environment descriptions, and the slow pace makes people sleepy... And in the end, a bunch of inexplicable clues were suddenly given to the police, directly solving the whole case.

What is the author's intention, to introduce the tourist route to readers?

Also, I heard that this story is based on a real police story. Do RB policemen work like this? I am really worried about my own safety.

She shook her head, but in her heart she gave "New Novel" a life sentence, and planned to let the book enter the "cave" to enjoy the cool.

At this moment, her hand habitually swiped to the next page, and saw the first page of "Xiaoshi and Yoko":

"If my mother wants to kill me, what method will she use? For example, she may beat me with a hard object as usual, or may use the usual beating method to tighten my neck; or, put me Pushed off the balcony to create the illusion of suicide."

This start is kind of scary, right?

She involuntarily stopped the hand that was about to close the book, and decided to read a few more pages.

But looking at it, her heart was entangled with Yoko's experience, and she was completely immersed in it.

From the beginning of Yoko being abused, to Yoko being treated kindly by her mother-in-law, to her younger sister Xiaoshi being pushed off the balcony, and to her mother's last weird smile...

These scenes are all in the form of pictures, constantly appearing in her mind.

The more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, but she was not willing to let it go, and it was not until a long time later that she calmed down.

At this time, she found that the corners of her eyes were already wet. It turned out that she had cried unconsciously.

Why are you crying, she thought involuntarily.

She thought for a long time, and was surprised to find that her life had many similarities with Yoko's.

She also grew up in a single-parent family. Her father took care of her younger brother in every possible way, but he was indifferent to her. He even hated her because she looked more and more like her mother who had run away from home.

Under such circumstances, she even once wanted to give up her life...

When she was suffering, the head teacher of the high school gave her a book as a gift, with a message written on it, hoping that she could have her own life after graduating from high school.

With the encouragement of this book and the message, she survived until she graduated from high school.After thanking the teacher, she left her hometown and native family and started her new life as a bookstore clerk.

The result is now...

She was silent for a while, turned to the page of the author's information, saw the words "Akihara Yuto", and thought about what kind of person the other party was and why he could write such an article.

This kind of article reborn from pain, the deep meaning contained in it, is definitely not something that a writer who has no similar life experience can write.

Presumably this Akihara teacher, like herself, has had an unbearable experience, right?

She took a look at the booth and decided to set aside a place for this story that touched her heart.

This story called "Xiaoshi and Yoko" should not be buried in the bookshelf, let it be placed on the exhibition stand, maybe it can also help someone who needs her?

……

When Sugihara Aisa contributed her meager strength to the sales of "New Novel", some people looked at "New Novel" in front of them with disgust.

He scratched his head in distress, but he murmured in his heart.

The pile of horse manure in front of me, how can I write it so that it smells delicious?

[17.No.17 Chapter Finding Gold in the Dung Pit]

Yadai Toshihiro bit the tip of the pen in his hand, but kept his eyes on the magazine on the table, and stroked the stubble of his chin in distress.

He is a book reviewer, or a literary critic, and his main job is to read various literary books including periodicals and magazines, and publish professional reviews in newspapers.

RB publishes more than 4 books every year, and the large number of books can fill the entire Tokyo warehouse.

If there is no objective and fair opinion, most readers can only look for books in the dark.

Under such circumstances, the profession of book reviewer emerged as the times require, the main purpose of which is to serve as a guide for good books, provide readers with information about new books, and play a role in promotion and publicity.

Because the subscription rate of the RB family is very high, the circulation is as high as 2700 million copies.

With such a readership base, many books can sell more than 3 copies immediately after a simple review, so there is a saying of "three thousand book reviews".

However, because of the obvious promotional effect on books, many large publishing houses often use the form of sponsorship or soft articles, hoping that newspapers can say a few words about their books.

Like now, the "Tokyo Mainichi Shimbun" where Yadai Toshihiro works has received a sponsorship from Mandansha, hoping that the newspaper's book review column can help its literary magazine "New Novel" do a certain amount of publicity.

The business department of the newspaper received the corresponding payment and immediately assigned the specific work to Yashiro Toshihiro.

Not only was he asked to write some good words about "New Novel", but he was also asked to maintain the newspaper's objective position as much as possible.

These demands filled him with displeasure.

These bastards have to say good things and maintain their own positions, why don't you write and read by yourself, and show me a colorful black if you have the ability.

He was indignant, but he still opened the magazine in his hand, trying to find some good points.

After all, the pressure of the newspaper's revenue would fall on him. If he didn't write well, he probably wouldn't even be able to eat dried salted fish at the end of the month.

He took a sip of water, flipped through the contents of the "New Novel" in his hand, and read the story in the first column "The Steps of Search".

Since this story is placed in the first column, it should be somewhat level, let's put aside your prejudices and take a look.

He lowered his head, watching and pondering.

The background of this story is in Hokkaido, and the local customs and customs are well written. It seems that the author's writing skills are still qualified, and this aspect can be praised.

Oh, a conflict happened. An Australian businessman who came to invest locally was framed. His business partner asked a policeman who was on vacation to investigate the case, but when he arrived at the scene, he was not allowed to enter. Tsk tsk, it’s a bit interesting...

Why are there so many descriptions of the environment, forget it, let's see how he solves the case.

He held back his impatience, let himself see the end, then stood up, and slammed the book onto the table with a "snap".

What the hell, the police solved the case after finding a few small clues, so why write such a long scene foreshadowing, and there are conflicts, except for one not being allowed to enter the scene, the other plots have not even fluctuated.

He felt that he wasted half a precious hour of his life, and he was so angry that he wanted to write a book review, suggesting that the other party should change the name to "Hokkaido Sightseeing Guide" directly, so as not to waste readers' time.

After a while, he sighed and picked up the book again.

The other party is a customer that cannot be offended, and I am just a small employee of the newspaper office. I don't have the right to write whatever I want. I'd better take a closer look and try my best to find some gold in this cesspool.

In fact, he didn't have any hope in his heart, but he still forced himself to turn to the next page, ready to continue wasting his life.

"Little Jewelry and Yoko", the title is a bit interesting, are there two protagonists?It seems rare to discuss my death from my perspective at the beginning...

No, prepare for the worst first, so as not to waste expectations.
