On the Humanity behind the Rational Reasoning in The Devotion of Suspect X

《嫌疑人X的献身》是日本推理小说作家东野圭吾的巅峰之作,也是日本推理小说的扛鼎之作。作品中精妙设计的诡计使得小说有着强烈的悬疑性和可读性,读者和研究者更多地聚焦于作品中非常道的故事架构。立足人性的视角,剖析人物间的爱情、亲情、友情等情感关系及其对情节发展的影响,管窥法理与人性的冲突,探究故事发生的社会根源,增强对作品多元主题的整体性把握。

The Devotion of Suspect X is considered as a peak work of Higashino Keigo, a Japanese mystery writer. It is a detective fiction in which the rationalism and emotionalism are perfectly combined. Its diction is simple and direct, narration calm and brief, plot weird and blurred and framework fantastic and unimaginable. The novel is equipped with such a subtle and ingenious trick that numerous readers and researchers tend to focus on its unique way of the creation of a strong suspense. But to understand the multi--theme of the novel, it is necessary to analyze the emotional relationships between the major characters and explore possible social roots, based on the humanity lying in the rational reasoning in the novel.
