ゼロの王国(上) (講談社文庫)

著者 : 鹿島田真希

• 講談社 (2012年6月15日発売)

Holy foolishness has been a motif in Kashimada's work since her 1998 debut. A devout Orthodox Church member married to a missionary, she is captivated by the church's aesthetic of humbleness, and has challenged herself by creating her ideal yurodivy -- an archetypal trickster who acts in seemingly innocent ways while concealing a darker truth. She often takes ideas and styles from her favorite authors of Western classic literature, recasting the plots and placing her stories in Japan.
In this story, Prince Myshkin, the protagonist of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, resurfaces in modern Japan.
