«La piscine» is the short novel by Yôko Ogawa, published by Actes Sud in paperback (72 pages, in French).
A teenage girl lives in the orphanage run by her parents; the collective routine flattens everything. Only Jun captivates her, a young man she watches at the pool, while he mistreats Rie, a little girl. Ogawa explores the innocent perversity of adolescence, where desire, cruelty, and frustration coexist without morality.
Translation from the Japanese by Rose-Marie Makino-Fayolle. Work published in the Lettres japonaises collection by Actes Sud.
