  3つのオムニバス/うち2つは…
  3 omnibuss/ 2 of them...
  This review contains spoilers. なかなかガツンとくるオムニバスで、切なくて美しい。「蛙の王子様」はDKのお話で、苦しみからの解放があって、未来がある。顔が綺麗が呪いとなる。顔しか見られない。自分の顔に興味のない隣の席の昆虫オタク、一緒に巡る博物館。居心地のよさを始めて知る。確かにね…芸能人のように見られる仕事ではないし、中身を知らずに好まれる、中身を知ろうともしない周囲にいることは辛いだろうな。彼を知ってよかったね。「ふたりぼっちのエバーアフター」は、繰り返す呪いが絶たれるとき、2人はどう生きたのだろう。でも、もう残して死することはないのだろうな。ハッピーなはずだけど、メリバに見えるのは、未来が見えないからかな。表題作、「果ての荒野でバカンスを」は、驚きの展開。いつまで2人で生きていけるのだろうか。人間の寿命がきたとき、どうなるだろうか。どれも2人だけの世界。2人だけで生きていくことの喜びと切なさが少し痛みを感じさせる。現代版、御伽噺のような世界観。「屍と花嫁」を読んだときも、独特な世界観に惹かれたな。エチ描写がないわけではない。

  This review contains spoilers. It's an omnibus that really pulls in, and it's so sad and beautiful. “The Frog Prince” is a DK story, and there is freedom from suffering, and there is a future. Having a pretty face is a curse. I can only see faces. An insect nerd sitting next to you, who isn't interested in his own face, can visit this museum together. Get to know comfort for the first time. Certainly... it's not a job where you look like an entertainer, and it would be difficult to be around people who don't know what's inside, and who don't even know what's inside. Good to know him. How did the two live in “Alone for the Two” when the repeated curse came to an end. But I don't think they'll leave any more behind and die. They should be happy, but the reason they look like Meriba is probably because they can't see the future. The title work, “Vacation at the End of the Wilderness,” is a surprising development. How long will the two of them be able to live together? What will happen when humans reach the end of their lives? They are all worlds only for 2 people. The joy and sorrow of living alone with just two makes me feel a little bit of pain. A modern version, a fairytale-like worldview. Even when I read “The Corpse and the Bride,” I was drawn to the unique view of the world. It's not that there aren't any depictions of ethi.

  3作品収録の1冊
  1 book containing 3 works
  どれも個性的なファンタジーで面白かった。台詞は多くないが一気に世界観に引き込む独特なセンス、短いながらにしっかり構築されたストーリーだと思った。表題の果ての荒野が一番好き。静かで切ないSFBL。

  All of them were unique fantasies and interesting. There aren't many lines, but I thought it was a short yet well-structured story with a unique sense of drawing you into the worldview all at once. I like the title The Wilderness at the End of the Title the best. Quiet and sad SFBL.

  心に刺さる物語
  A story that sticks to the heart
  This review contains spoilers. SF好きでこちらの作品を読みました。どの短篇集も上手くまとまられていて、とても満足できる内容でした。その中でもやはり標題作が一番心に響きました。映画を見ているようで、何十年後かに永遠に取り残されるキューブの孤独を考えると、この仮初のハッピーエンドが本当に良かったのかと感じる、心に刺さる物語でした。

  This review contains spoilers. I read this book because I like science fiction. Every collection of short stories was well organized, and I was very satisfied with the content. Among them, the title work touched my heart the most. It was a story that stuck in my heart, as if I were watching a movie, and considering the loneliness of Cube, which would be left behind forever decades from now, I felt that this hypothetical first happy ending was really good.
