LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2025
Born with a congenital muscle disorder, Shaka Isawa has severe spine curvature
and uses an electric wheelchair and ventilator. Within the limits of her care
home, her life is lived online: she studies, she tweets indignantly, she posts
outrageous stories on an erotica website. One day, a new male carer reveals he
has read it all - the sex, the provocation, the dirt. Her response? An indecent
proposal...
Written by the first disabled author to win Japan's most prestigious literary
award and acclaimed instantly as one of the most important Japanese novels of
the twenty-first century, Hunchback is an extraordinary, thrilling glimpse into
the desire and darkness of a woman placed at humanity's edge.
'A must-read debut. Funny and frank, this book lingers in the mind long after
you turn the final page' BBC Books of 2025
Hunchback is one of the boldest and most unusual books to emerge from a
mainstream publisher in years...
