Какво се случва, когато се сблъскат две напълно противоположни житейски философии? Кой побеждава, когато идеализмът се сблъска с нихилизмът? "Heaven" е най-смислената книга, която съм прочела до момента през тази година и напълно заслужено е била в краткия списък за Международен Букър. Каваками не просто засяга тежката тема за тормоза в училище, но и търси причините той изобщо да се случва, дълбае до извора на агресията и жестокостта… Прочетох книгата преди седмици и все още продължавам да мисля за нея. Задължително ще се запозная и с останалото творчество на авторката.
“Sometimes I cut things. Not just anything. Certain things. When I cut them, it makes me feel like things are finally normal.”
“I don't really know how to say it, but it’s like something’s wrong all the time, and I can’t do anything to stop it.”
“I mean I almost never feel like everything’s okay, but just because most of my life feels wrong doesn’t mean that’s how I want it to be. There’s a part of me that doesn’t feel like anything is wrong or okay. Just normal. That’s the part of me I like, the normal part.”
“I mean, I said, “we won't literally turn into flowers or desks, obviously… but we’ll be acting just like things. So basically…
“Basically?”she said.
“It’s like we are…” I started saying…
“Trouble is,”Kojima said and took a deep breath,”even if we are just a things to them, they won't leave us alone like actual things. We can never be like a clock on the wall.” She gazed out the window. “ That’s the thing right?”
“Because we are always in pain, we know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else.”
“It’s all the same. You, me, we’re all free to interpret the world however we want. We see the world differently. It’s that simple. That’s why you need to be strong. You have to overpower people so they can’t come at you with their thoughts or rules or values.”

Desconozco si la autora ha vivido de cerca el acoso escolar, pero desde luego por este libro no lo parece. Solo alguien totalmente falto de empatía podría escribir algo así, que llega a excusar a los agresores, responsabilizar a las víctimas o relativizar lo que sucede, porque bueno, así funciona el mundo. Casi hasta parece que se divierta escribiendo setpieces en los que hará sufrir más y mejor a los personajes. Ya en Pechos y huevos a ratos me daba la sensación de que disfruta provocando con temas delicados y aquí me lo confirma. Será lo último que lea de ella.
