Durante el verano de 1891, el joven doctor Shimamura es enviado a una expediciĂłn al remoto interior de JapĂłn. Han llegado informes a Kyoto que hablan de poblados perdidos en las montañas en los que ciertas mujeres han sido poseĂdas por espĂritus de zorros. Al principio, se muestra escĂ©ptico, hasta que conoce a Kiyo, una «belleza floreciente» cuyos sĂntomas se ajustan mĂĄs al folclore que a cualquier diagnĂłstico cientĂfico. Sin embargo, a partir de ese momento, Shimamura sufre una fiebre crĂłnica y las mujeres se sienten atraĂdas hacia Ă©l como polillas a la llama. Enviado a Europa por el gobierno japonĂ©s, armado con una carpeta de grabados pornogrĂĄficos, conocerĂĄ a los apĂłstoles del psicoanĂĄlisis. Y tratarĂĄ de que la ciencia exorcice las preguntas planteadas por «la princesa zorro de Shimane».CRĂTICAS«Altamente concentrado y maravillosamente absurdo.» âSĂŒddeutsche Zeitung«Christine Wunnicke demuestra lo que la literatura es capaz de hacer: afirmar algo que no se trata simplemente de lo real, sino que crea su propia realidad muy presente.» âMartina Boette-Sonner, Bayern2Kultur«Una novela tan reducida e ingeniosa como la caligrafĂa japonesa.» âEstilo SI«Su lenguaje claro y conciso sumado al misterio subyacente genera una tensiĂłn y sorpresa adicional.» âCorreo«Una obra maestra sobre la mente humana fantĂĄsticamente contada.» âAndrea Gerk, NDR Kultur«Christine Wunnicke explora con gran maestrĂa las ĂĄreas vergonzosas de la psique humana y la credulidad.» âLibĂ©ration «Con su prosa delicada, tono juguetĂłn y narraciĂłn traviesa, Wunnicke demuestra ser una maestra de la escritura.» âKirkus Review«Divertida mezcla de historia e imaginaciĂłn que cautivarĂĄ a los lectores interesados en narradores cuestionables y realismo mĂĄgico.» âPublishers Weekly«Una joya brillante y absurda en forma de novela.» âThe New York Times«Una novela atractivamente inquietante, un poco fuera de lugar, que sugiere lo desconocido y lo incognoscible.» âThe Complete Review«Una novela ingeniosa, artĂstica, casi surrealista, que muestra cĂłmo la narrativa puede tomar vuelo sobre los resortes de los hechos histĂłricos.» âAnja Hirsch, Wdr3«Un libro ingeniosamente construido.» âBĂŒchermagazin«Christine Wunnicke describe todo esto con una sutil y fina ironĂa, de modo que al final el lector ya no sabe quĂ© es mĂĄs curioso y cuestionable. Una novela encantadora, amena y con mucha profundidad.» âSabine Grimkowski, Roe 2«¥Un libro hermosĂsimo!» âAndreas Platthaus, Faz
