Fascinating story, esp. when put in a larger historical context. But the book is too narrative than analytical.
评分同意第一条短评… 开头有几章分析时代背景的还不错,可惜在结尾处太陷入故事而没有更多的分析。补一个argument的话,应该是contextualize and rationalize Abe Sada的杀人动机,反对“性变态”和“精神病”这些解释。本案之所以能引发如此大的社会反响,关键在于Abe Sada“反抗”了正在扩张中的日本帝国对imperial subjects的塑造。妓女,在当时的一般认知里,只可能是sexual and erotic objects,而Abe Sada却声称自己对一个男人有纯洁深刻的爱,并试图以极端方式monopolize him。这在当时是无论法官、记者、学者和观众都无法理解和容忍的。

In May 1936, Abe Sada committed the most notorious crime in twentieth-century Japan -- the murder and emasculation of her lover. What made her do it? And why was she found guilty of murder yet sentenced to only six years in prison? Why have this woman and her crime remained so famous for so long, and what does her fame have to say about attitudes toward sex and sexuality in modern Japan? Despite Abe Sada's notoriety and the depictions of her in film and fiction (notably in the classic In the Realm of the Senses), until now, there have been no books written in English that examine her life and the forces that pushed her to commit the crime. Along with a detailed account of Sada's personal history, the events leading up to the murder, and its aftermath, this book contains transcripts of the police interrogations after her arrest -- one of the few existing first-person records of a woman who worked in the Japanese sex industry during the 1920s and 1930s -- as well as a memoir by the judge and police records. Geisha, Harlot, Strangler, Star steps beyond the simplistic view of Abe Sada as a sexual deviate or hysterical woman to reveal a survivor of rape, a career as a geisha and a prostitute, and a prison sentence for murder. Sada endured discrimination and hounding by paparazzi until her disappearance in 1970. Her story illustrates a historical collision of social and sexual values -- those of the samurai class and imported from Victorian Europe against those of urban and rural Japanese peasants.
