A very dark, sad, lonely read. This book won a prestigious award in Japan.(I'm not sure what the criteria is for this award, but I thought it fell short of an award winning book, IMO)

This short novel/novella is a dark snapshot into the young adult world of modern Japan. Its 120 pages is jam-packed with gritty and disturbing imagery. The orginal Japanese title is "Hebi ni piasu," translated to Piercing of the Snake.
