Description: | Select Guide Rating A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. They regard this disallusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying. A tale of youth and warped masculinity, this is the suspenseful, lyrical and page-turning Japanese classic. |
