SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE
A raw, painful, and tender portrait of adolescent misery... This book is very likely to make you cry.Lily Meyer, NPR
With profound tenderness and sensitivity, Japanese literary superstar Mieko Kawakami turns her unique gaze onto the causes and effects of violence. Raw but revelatory, this novel stands as a dazzling confirmation of Kawakamis standing as one of her countrys most insightful and compelling novelists.
In Heaven, a shy high-school student is subjected to bullying from his classmates and the only person capable of understanding his ordeal is a young classmate who suffers similar treatment at the hands of her tormentors. Each finds in the other a unique sensibility capable of offering not only solace but also a fresh perspective on their predicaments.

Review

Impeccably translated by Sam Bett and David Boyd, the book is full of masterly set pieces of violence, scenes of senseless bullying so lucid you can almost feel the pain yourself... The dissonances of the novel align into perfect vision for the breathtaking ending, which is an argument in favor of meaning, of beauty, of life.Nadja Spiegelman, The New York Times Book Review
If you enjoyed Meiko Kawakamis brilliant Breasts and Eggs, youre certain to be astonished by her latest novel exploring violence and bullying with fierce, feminist and damning candor.Ms. Magazine
This is the real magic of Heaven, which shows us how to think about morality as an ongoing, dramatic activity. It can be maddening and ruinous and isolating. But it can also be shared, enlivened through writing and conversation, and momentarily redeemed through unheroic acts of solidarity.Merve Emre, The New Yorker
Heaven takes on the issue of bullying, and why a victim might choose not to fight back. Two teenagers bond over their torment, and their passive response reveals many kinds of societal injustice.The Washington Post
A raw, painful, and tender portrait of adolescent misery...This book is very likely to make you cry.Lily Meyer, NPR
Japans Mieko Kawakami, a rising young star in the literary scene, returns with a raw story of bullying and pain, but also friendship.Lesley Kennedy, CNN Underscored
But how can a relationship really last when its foundation is built on shared experiences of humiliation? The author moves toward an answer in this quietly devastating tale of middle school drama.TIME Magazine
Kawakami unflinchingly takes the reader through the abyss of depraved, dehumanizing behavior with keen psychological insight, brilliant sensitivity, and compassionate understanding. With this, the authors star continues to rise.Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
The author of Breasts and Eggs takes on another subject seldom tapped in literary fiction and blows it open with raw and eloquent intensity...An unexpected classic.Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
Raw and vivid...[Kamakamis] sensitive, evocative storytelling sets her apart as an incredible literary talent.Booklist (Starred Review)
Kawakami writes with jagged, visceral beauty about those early antagonists we carry around in our heads, scars we bear into adulthood, caught in the undertow of hormones and sorrow.Oprah Daily
Kawakami never lets us settle comfortably, which is a testament to her storytelling power. Long after finishing the novel, I find myself recalling its harrowing details and troubling contradictions.Los Angeles Review of Books
One of Japans brightest stars is set to explode across the global skies of literature.Japan Times
Heaven further confirms Kawakamis superb literary ability to expose and disturb.Smithsonian Book Dragon
In a sense, Heaven is high modernism, vivid and sincere, but with an indefatigability and broad-mindedness that belongs without a doubt to the current moment.Harvard Review
While Kawakami refuses to give us answers, the elegance and care with which she describes her chara
