Hunchback by Saou Ichikawa - 9780593734711
Born with a congenital muscle disorder, Shaka spends her days in her room in a care home outside Tokyo, relying on an electric wheelchair to get around and a ventilator to breathe. But if Shaka’s physical life is limited, her quick, mischievous mind has no boundaries: She takes e-learning courses on her iPad, publishes explicit fantasies on websites, and anonymously troll-tweets to see if anyone is paying attention (“In another life, I’d like to work as a high-class prostitute”). One day, she tweets into the void an offer of an enormous sum of money for a sperm donor. To Shaka’s surprise, her new nurse accepts the dare, unleashing a series of events that will forever change Shaka’s sense of herself as a woman in the world.
Hunchback has shaken Japanese literary culture with its skillful depiction of the physical body and its unrepentant humor. Winner of the prestigious Akutagawa Prize, it’s a feminist story about the dignity of an individual who insists on her right to make choices for herself, no matter the consequences. Formally creative and refreshingly unsentimental, Hunchback depicts the joy, anger, and desires of a woman demanding autonomy in a world that doesn’t always grant it to people like her. Full of wit, bite, and heart, this unforgettable novel reminds us all of the full potential of our lives, regardless of the limitations we experience.
Longlisted for the International Booker Prize and winner of the Akutagawa Prize, Hunchback is a groundbreaking Japanese novel about disability, desire, and the fight for bodily autonomy. With razor-sharp wit and emotional depth, Saou Ichikawa delivers a story that demands to be heard—an unforgettable voice in modern fiction.
Unapologetically bold and bitingly smart, Hunchback challenges the norms of who gets to desire, choose, and live freely. Saou Ichikawa’s debut is a masterclass in literary provocation. Hunchback is not just a novel—it’s a revolution in prose. Step into Shaka’s world and witness the power of a voice that refuses to be silenced.
