Description
[Machine Translation] The "Zero Number Prisoners," those with an inmate number ending in zero, meaning murderers, are housed in a specially sturdy solitary confinement cell on the second floor of the detention center. Others, such as Sunada, who pushed a woman off a cliff, and Ota, who slaughtered four members of his family, also live in fear in the room of the dead. This is a unique masterpiece that presents a vivid record of interviews with Chikaki, a young medical officer and psychiatrist who meticulously examines the strange sense of despondency felt by the other male family members, as well as the reality of the detention neuroses and daily conversations of the death-row inmates who are suffering at the extremes of life and death. Winner of the 11th Japan Literature Grand Prize, this is a three-volume work. This is a "naked reality of death row inmates" that reexamines "the meaning of the death penalty" in the modern age.
