: : : About AMI SAKURAI's "INNOCENT WORLD" : : :

Enter a world of nihilism and self-destruction. Enter a world of rape,

incest, and trauma. Enter a world of violence, drugs, and prostitution.

Enter an innocent world.

Ami believes in nothing, hopes for nothing, and turns tricks because it’s

something to do. Her journey from the pit of despair to the precarious

edge of something else captures the part of being seventeen that never

makes it into words.

A razor-sharp novella whose sheer intensity elevates misanthropy to the

level of art, Innocent World is the author's first work to appear in

English.
