An incisive and compelling account of the case of Lucie Blackman. Lucie Blackman -- tall, blonde, and 21 years old -- stepped out into the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000, and disappeared forever. The following winter, her dismembered remains were found buried in a seaside cave.
The seven months inbetween had seen a massive search for the missing girl, involving Japanese policemen, British private detectives, Australian dowsers and Lucie's desperate, but bitterly divided, parents. As the case unfolded, it drew the attention of prime ministers and sado-masochists, ambassadors and con-men, and reporters from across the world. Had Lucie been abducted by a religious cult, or snatched by human traffickers? Who was the mysterious man she had gone to meet? And what did her work, as a 'hostess' in the notorious Roppongi district of Tokyo, really involve?
Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, has followed the case since Lucie's disappearance. Over the course of a decade, he has travelled to four continents to interview those caught up in the story, fought off a legal attack in the Japanese courts, and worked undercover as a barman in a Roppongi strip club. He has talked exhaustively to Lucie's friends and family and won unique access to the Japanese detectives who investigated the case. And he has delved into the mind and background of the man accused of the crime -- Joji Obara, described by the judge as 'unprecedented and extremely evil'.
With the finesse of a novelist, he reveals the astonishing truth about Lucie and her fate. People Who Eat Darkness is, by turns, a non-fiction thriller, a courtroom drama and the biography of both a victim and a killer. It is the story of a young woman who fell prey to unspeakable evil, and of a loving family torn apart by grief. And it is a fascinating insight into one of the world's most baffling and mysterious societies, a light shone into dark corners of Japan that the rest of the world has never glimpsed before.
RICHARD LLOYD PARRY, an award-winning foreign correspondent, is the Asia editor of The Times, based in Tokyo.
不僅僅停留在“講述”一件轟動世人的案子,更重要的是,它尋找瞭案子背後的“原因”
評分從一個英國年輕女子在東京的失蹤開始耐心地挖掘事件的細節和社會背景,最後落腳到對日本文化的深思上。作為一個常駐日本的西方人,作者敏銳地發現瞭西方人的一個常見錯誤,即把日本錶麵上的社會範式看做發自內心的禮貌。日本人普遍的禮貌和服從並不代錶其中沒有壓抑,邪惡和失控。作者也揭示齣,任何形式的司法審判恐怕都難以緩解極端犯罪對於受害人親友的精神傷害。而旁觀者往往對受害人有著刻闆印象,要求他們扮演弱者角色,讓本案的受害者傢屬痛苦萬分。本書可以說是對西方印象中那個禮儀之邦日本的去魅,沒有完美的文化和理想化的個人。
