長谷部千彩『有閑マドモワゼル』


文筆家・長谷部千彩の原点となるエッセイ集。美しい女が過ごす、バブル崩壊後の東京の空気が吹き抜ける一冊。

何故この本が #本の力を感じた一冊 かと言うと、彼女がもがきながら好きな事を書いているのが伝わるから。
文体は稚拙。
だからこそ本音が透ける。
いくら繕ってもまっすぐな感情が伝わる。
ここまで素直な気持ちが伝わって良いのかとすら思う。
ただの紙の束を通して誰かのまっすぐな気持ちを受け取れる事は滅多にない。ここに私は本の力を感じる。

また、彼女の嗜好は読者に影響を強く与える。私もこの本を読み、香水とストッキングの手持ちが増えた。同じ経験をした読者も多いだろう。

完璧な文章を読みたい人には薦めない。
若い文章を許容出来る人には一読してほしい。


This is a collection of essays by Chisai Hasebe, a writer and the starting point of her career. It is a book in which a beautiful woman spends her time, and the air of Tokyo after the burst of the bubble economy blows through.

The reason why I felt this book has the power of a book is because I can feel that she writes what she likes while struggling.
Her writing style is poor.
That is why you can see through her true feelings.
No matter how much she tries to fix it, her honest feelings are conveyed.
I even wonder if it's okay to convey such honest feelings.
It is rare to receive someone's honest feelings through a mere bundle of paper. This is where I feel the power of books.

Also, her tastes have a strong influence on the reader. I, too, have increased my perfume and stocking carry-on after reading this book. I am sure many readers will have the same experience.

I would not recommend this book to those who want to read perfect writing.
I would recommend this book to anyone who can tolerate young writing.
