后殖民理论”。注意他这里的逻辑。吉本的作品似乎需要用后现代、后殖民理论来验证，这些理论自觉或不自觉地构成了作家作为“理论”的更高权威。村上似乎在宣称，为了介绍吉本，吉本需要以“后现代和后殖民理论”为中介。这种方案的逻辑延伸是，“本土日本研究”在某种程度上是低劣的，总是被归入“实践”的领域。当然，福柯和吉本的作品的不对称性是基于他们写作语言的不对称性的现实。但在这里，作者的表达方式加强了这种不对称。除了这样的理论讨论，没有什么能把这四位作家拉到一起。作者在当代日本文学中可以选择的作家中选择了这些作家，但没有明确解释。这当然不是不言自明的。本书引发我们思考的一些（如果不是大多数的话）理论问题，在作者在参考书目中引用的许多著作中已经进行了广泛的辩论。进一步接触这些作品，更严格地质疑他自己对术语的使用以及他构建项目的假设，可能会对本书有很大的帮助。
postcolonial theories.” Notice his logic here. It is as if Yoshimoto’s works need to be validated through postmodern and postcolonial theories, which constitute, consciously or unconsciously, a higher authority as “theory” for the writer. It is as if Murakami is claiming that in order to introduce Yoshimoto, Yoshimoto needs to be mediated by “postmodern and postcolonial theories.” The logical extension of such a scheme is that “indigenous Japanese studies” is somehow inferior, always relegated to the realm of “practice.” Of course, the asymmetry of Foucault’s works and Yoshimoto’s is a reality based on the asymmetry of the languages they write in. But here, the asymmetry is reinforced by the writer’s modes of articulation. Aside from such theoretical discussions, there is nothing that pulls the four writers together in this book. The author’s choice of these writers, among the many he could have chosen in contemporary Japanese literature, is not explained in clear terms. It is certainly not self-evident. Some, if not most, of the theoretical issues that this book provokes us to think about have been debated extensively in many works the writer cites in his bibliography. Further engagement with such works and a more rigorous questioning of his own use of terms as well as the assumptions with which he structured the project could have helped this book immensely.
