Born with a congenital muscle disorder, Shaka Isawa has severe spine curvature and uses an electric wheelchair and ventilator. Within the limits of her care home, her life is lived online: she studies, she tweets indignantly, she posts outrageous stories on an erotica website. One day, a new male carer reveals he has read it all the sex, the provocation, the dirt. Her response? An indecent proposal Written by the first disabled author to win Japan's most prestigious literary award and acclaimed instantly as one of the most important Japanese novels of the twenty-first century, Hunchback is an extraordinary, thrilling glimpse into the desire and darkness of a woman placed at humanity's edge.

'Filled with unforgettable insight' Sakaya Murata, author of Convenience Store Woman

História curta mas inigualável

Bea

Um livro cheio de wit que nos deixa a refletir sobre os desejos e a validade de um corpo inválido e os seus direitos reprodutivos.

Vulnerável e emotivo

Barbara Requixa

Conta a história de uma rapariga com dificuldades motoras, que tem uma vida cheia de desafios e que vive quase isolada da sociedade. Adorei o quão sincera foi a escrita, numa história que nos conta os desejos mais íntimos e os ressentimentos com que ela vive.
