Marriage with other species

In Yukiko Motoi's novels and stories, magical realism, absurdity, ancient myths and Shinto legends come together. As a result, modern Japanese reality appears to the reader its most fabulous, and most importantly - allegorical side. Here men and women are not equal, but different species of beings. And where they seem to merge into one, believe me, it only seems so. The most unusual book by one of modern Japan's most unusual authors won the country of the rising sun's highest literary honor, the Akutagawa Prize, in 2015. The strange syncretic genre in which Yukiko Motoya writes her prose, and so it is tempting to define as "magical grotesque". This kind of Japanese black humor, where the worminess of any situation is brought to mystical, otherworldly absurdity.
