Martin Connolly

    Tento autor skúma zložité vzťahy medzi identitou a miestom, pričom sa často zameriava na írske dedičstvo v nečakanom prostredí. Jeho rané akademické štúdium stredovekej a renesančnej literatúry formovalo jeho citlivosť k naratívnym štruktúram a jazyku. V súčasnosti, keď pôsobí ako univerzitný profesor v Japonsku, sa jeho tvorba zameriava na literárnu analýzu, s hlbokým záujmom o írsku literatúru 20. storočia a dielo Jamesa Joyce. Jeho nadchádzajúca zbierka poézie sľubuje ďalšie skúmanie týchto literárnych a kultúrnych prúdov.

      This is an original English-language ghost story set in contemporary Japan, involving only Japanese characters. The time period is around the mid-nineties, before the advent of mobile phones and the Internet. It concerns university-age students who plan to stay a night in a large farmhouse in rural Japan, during the winter season. Initially, focus falls on Eri's relationship with her boyfriend Toru. This story possesses elements of the ghost story genre, but it is also a study in human interaction and behaviour. This is a novella.
