The work brilliantly demonstrates Kanai's light-hearted wit in addition to her penchant for biting commentary on conservative elements in Japanese society. Kanai is also an acclaimed essayist, film critic, literary critic, and poet, and has produced a steady output of high-quality material since making her literary debut in her teens UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781942242550 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781942242550 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781942242550/original ER -
