Synopsis
Self-esteem, the cost of vanity and being-careful-what-you-wish-for are the thematic connective tissue of Body's collection of psychological horror stories. In the vein of the The Twilight Zone, each story ends with a shock leaving the reader unsettled: a girl is reduced to skin and bone when she develops bulimia as a result of bullying; a woman's desperate attempts to regain her husband's attention through cosmetic surgery have unexpected results; an unruly man's fascination with boxing consumes his life; and more.

Nonami was born in 1960 in Tokyo and attended Waseda University to study Sociology before dropping out and getting a job at an advertising agency. In 1988 she made her fiction writing debut with Happy Breakfast and won the Japan Mystery Suspense Award. In 1996, Nonami won the 115th Naoki Prize for The Hunter. Among her other notable works are The June 19th Bride, Paradise Thirty, Dramatic Children, and Muderer of the Blooming Season. Her first work to be translated in English, The Hunter, received widespread acclaim in the U.S. in 2006. Nonami's second novel, Now You're One of Us, was released in December 2007 by Vertical."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
