Product Information

The Stones Cry Out is the story of an amateur geologist and bookseller who is collapsing under the burden of his own history. Tsuyoshi Manase learned his first geology lesson from a dying soldier in a cave at the end of World War II. The soldier, a corporal, is skeletal, his eyes swarming with maggots, but his voice is low and steady, as he tells Manase of how a small pebble contains the Earth's history in its ephemeral matter. When the war ends, Manase returns home and opens a bookstore. He marries, and becomes the father of two sons. But what consoles him the most is the collecting of stones, and he enjoys his quiet life. That is until horrible violence visits his family and Manase must face his past in order to survive the nightmares of the present. A darkly compelling tale of one man's struggle against his own memories, The Stones Cry Out is a formidable debut novel from an international writer with an unusually penetrating voice.

"There is a German verb, grassieren, which means 'to be rampant, rife, prevalent, to prevail.' The word might as well derive from GÜnter Grass, rampant with bravura showmanship, rife with impudent trickery, and, in the end, prevailing.-The Washington Post "The volume is Grass's magical mystery history tour, a mix of fiction, reminiscence, and nonfiction, an idiosyncratic time machine."-The Boston Globe, "There is a German verb, grassieren, which means 'to be rampant, rife, prevalent, to prevail.'

Reclusive Manase, a WWII veteran who runs a bookstore in a mountainous town northwest of Tokyo, is haunted by the atrocities he witnessed, during the war's final months, in a cave on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. When his captain ordered the execution of malarial, skeletal Japanese soldiers considered "dead weight," Manase stood by silently, full of guilt and shame, while his invalid comrades were massacred. In addition to his recurrent nightmares of this war crime, Manase carries another legacy from the cave'the dying words of a Japanese geologist, who said, "Even the most ordinary pebble has the history of this heavenly body we call earth written on it." This Blakean pronouncement propels Manase, after the war, to become a fanatic collector of rocks and fossils, an amateur geologist whose obsession with finding, polishing and classifying specimens is his way of coping with suppressed guilt and pain. Then the unsolved murder of Manase's young son Hiroaki in a cliffside tunnel triggers family breakup. Manase's alcoholic wife is inconsolable. She becomes violently abusive, deliriously accuses Manase of killing the boy, accusations, we later learn, that cannot be totally dismissed, because Manase may have been present that day on the cliffside. Suspicion falls more emphatically on an uncaught serial killer, and also on Manase's emotionally neglected younger son, Takaaki. The second half of this sensitive, beautifully translated novel focuses on Manase's frigid relationship with brooding, resentful Takaaki, who becomes a militant student radical in the riots of 1968, then goes on to join a revolutionary faction. The cinematic denouement, where Manase visits the quarry where Hiroaki died and hallucinates that he is back in Leyte, is not entirely satisfying or convincing, but Okuizumi is a natural storyteller, his deceptively simple, low-key style magnetizing., "There is a German verb, grassieren, which means 'to be rampant, rife, prevalent, to prevail.'
