Autopsy of the last few minutes of a Shibuya Girl in Nakano
Excerpt 1:
The heat slowly washed over her. She was suddenly seized by a brief but sharp pain in her lower abdomen. All pleasure was draining away, leaving her in a state of profound dismay. The sight of her stockings torn to the ground and the uncontrolled trickle of blood gradually spreading into the water made her feel nauseous.
Excerpt 2:
It was now 4:39 pm, the sun was sinking into the distance in the Tokyo sky in this month of
November. Hisae, her eyes half-closed, saw the pearls of her necklace rolling to the ground and the hibiscus
drift away from her, floating on the light wind over a red immensity. She then thought back to those
spring Sundays when she was still a child, walks in the park of
Koishikawa-Korakuen with her mother, she loved to walk on the warm stones of the pond, cross the bridge, sit, contemplate the cherry blossoms and attend the Bunraku puppet shows. .. Before closing her eyes one last time, she watched the flower swirl, the pain gradually left her, the street around her faded away, the greenery gained space, she saw her again
mother sitting beside her and the purple leaves of the maples in the first days of autumn drifting
across the expanse of the lake.
Brothel Review -
Stéphane Million Editor.
Initially subtitled Open to All, the magazine Bordel presents itself as a "messy initiative" to mix writers while giving them complete freedom. The texts it offers represent a "vigorous and invigorating stroll through the layers of today's writing." The first issues of the magazine were distributed by Flammarion with Frédéric Beigbeder as literary director, then by Editions Scali. In 2008, Stéphane Million created his own publishing house, which took over the publication of the magazine.
