SINOPSE
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize.
From the bestselling Japanese author of Breasts and Eggs and international literary sensation Mieko Kawakami, comes a sharp and illuminating novel about a fourteen-year-old boy subjected to relentless bullying.
In Heaven, a fourteen-year-old boy is tormented for having a lazy eye. Instead of resisting, he chooses to suffer in silence. The only person who understands what he is going through is a female classmate, Kojima, who experiences similar treatment at the hands of her bullies. Providing each other with immeasurable consolation at a time in their lives when they need it most, the two young friends grow closer than ever. But what, ultimately, is the nature of a friendship when your shared bond is terror?
Unflinching yet tender, sharply observed, intimate and multi-layered, this simple yet profound novel stands as yet another dazzling testament to Mieko Kawakami’s uncontainable talent.

CRÍTICAS
'Kawakami unflinchingly takes the reader through the abyss of depraved, dehumanizing behavior with keen psychological insight, brilliant sensitivity, and compassionate understanding. With this, the author's star continues to rise' - Publishers Weekly
'Interspersed between scenes of bullying so brutally vivid as to make the reader feel short of breath, the conversations between characters and the long monologues summon a deep spirituality that makes the small world of fourteen feel enormous, as an exemplary ensemble piece is built before our eyes . . . This rare book infiltrates the heart on an emotional and rational level and is one which I unhesitatingly declare a masterpiece' - Yumi Toyozaki
'Simple and profound, Heaven is an undeniable masterpiece' - Mitsuyoshi Numano, Tokyo Shimbun
'The gorgeous final scene captures the beauty of the world as witnessed through the eyes of someone who has learned that life is finite. After surviving the simulation of death that we call bullying, the narrator embraces loss from a perspective that includes death in its purview. In the end, that is heaven. This novel made me keenly aware that in this world, no honest life is possible without this sense of loss' - Keiko Iwamiya, Shincho
'Mieko Kawakami has spun a poignant tale on the theme of bullying . . . Heaven is a tour de force' - Tokyo Shimbun
'Heaven covers new terrain, masterfully broadening the literary landscape' - Yomiuri Shimbun
'Kawakami has a unique knack for burrowing into discomfort, and she does it in a startlingly graceful way. Like her last novel-an unsparing treatise on the pressures of being a woman in male-dominated Japan-this book isn't for the fainthearted. Told from the perspective of a 14-year-old boy in present-day Japan, Kawakami's tale follows the volatile lives of two teenagers relentlessly bullied by their peers . . . An unexpected classic' - Kirkus

OPINIÃO DOS LEITORES
O melhor livro da Mieko!
Filipa C.
Heaven é um livro sombrio e fascinante que conta a história de dois adolescentes, Kaito e Aki, que sofrem bullying na escola. Um dia, como forma de compreensão pelo que Aki sofre, Kaito decide enviar-lhe uma carta o que cria uma ligação entre os dois e dá início a uma amizade. O livro é sem dúvida perturbador, refletindo sobre como a amizade pode se tornar um porto seguro contra a dor. A relação entre os dois protagonistas é delicada e complexa mas serve de aconchego para ambos, que estão tentando se encontrar no mundo em meio a tanto sofrimento e solidão. Recomendo.
o ´bullying´, para além do Bem e do Mal - o ´romance-tese´ de Mieko Kawakami sobre a geração dos anos de 1990 e a mentalidade japonesabre
Miguel Louro
o ´bullying´, para além do Bem e do Mal - o ´romance-tese´ de Mieko Kawakami sobre a geração dos anos de 1990 e a mentalidade japonesa Prémio Murasaki Shikibu 2010 e finalista do Booker International Prize 2022 (shortlist), o romance de Mieko Kawakami coloca ao leitor o desafio (perturbante) de olhar de frente para o problema (social, moral, geracional, universal) do ´bullying´ no sistema escolar japonês; e assistir sem filtros ao ´élan´ (explícito) de sistemas (Foucault) de intimidação exercidos ao narrador-protagonista pelos colegas de turma, até à cena-capitulo nuclear do romance na qual se discursa sobre a ´banalidade´ (o conceito ´banalidade´ conhece toda uma história [terrível] nas ideias do século XX, todos sabemo-lo) da prática da intimidação que está fora da binária mundividência Bem-Mal, Moral-imoral, Certo-Errado. Portanto, o romance faz -se tese inteligentemente, e o tom discursivo assume ecos universais; de leitura imprescindível para entender a mentalidade japonesa dos anos de 1990 (dado curioso - são também os anos da histeria e do culto das ditas ´novas religiões ´ e do ´new age´ no Japão como sintoma de ´fim de século \ fim de mundo´ [em 1995, o ´Aum´ perpetua ataque com gás sarim no metro de Tóquio - mesmo se o romance não menciona o facto, é escrito dando a entender a turbulência e incerteza reinantes na sociedade japonesa da altura]).
