Many thanks to NetGalley and Astra Publishing House for an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
"Trinity, Trinity, Trinity" is an interesting novel that traces the history of radiation starting from its discovery to the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy, as well as the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters, interwoven with the narrator's daily life which is threatened with a new kind of terrorism as the Tokyo 2020 Olympics prepare to open at the background. This new kind of terrorism emerges when the old people start to terrorize and threaten the lives of the people around them by carrying radioactive black stones and listening to these stones to hear them whisper stories about how radiation was discovered, and so on. Kobayashi successfully describes and criticizes the dangers of nuclear plants and how nuclear weapons and radiation ruined and horribly ended many lives using an unusual way of narration. Throughout the book, we're confined in the mind of the narrator, forced to look at everything subjectively, which misleads the reader from time to time. As I said before, it is an interesting novel, the kind you can get a clear idea only by reading it.
