«Les abeilles» is the suspense novel by Yōko Ogawa, published by Actes Sud in paperback (80 pages, in French).
A former resident of a student residence introduces her cousin to it. As soon as the young man settles in, she senses an indefinable unease: on subsequent visits the boy does not appear, and the director of the establishment becomes increasingly evasive and unsettling. With subtle strokes, Ogawa builds an anguished atmosphere of growing suspicion.
The work originally appeared in Japan in 1990; the present French edition is the translation published by Actes Sud.
For readers of contemporary Japanese fiction and short narratives with psychological suspense and an unsettling atmosphere.
