Feb 07: Fear and Trembling - Questions

Jay gives us some questions for consideration:

1. How effective would the story be if the reader did not know anything about the 1980-1990s Japanese business culture?

2. What is the reason for Amelie’s inclusion of Fubuki’s congratulatory letter to her in the end of the book?

3. What is Amelie’s fascination with Fubuki in the book?

4. Does the fact that there is very little story beyond Amelie’s life at Yumimoto take away from the book?

5. Since we read 1984, what similarities are between the cultures of Yumimoto and Oceania?
