'Backlight' by Kanji Hanawa is one of a batch of novellas specially commissioned by Red Circle Authors, unusual also in being first published in English translation before presumably then published in Japanese; the first batch - which I came across in a TLS review - will be succeeded by further such commissions in an ambitious series designed to showcase new Japanese writing for a Western readership. This thought-provoking and intriguing tale, by the Akutagawa Prize-nominated master short story writer Kanji Hanawa, revolves around the extraordinary real story of the seven-year-old boy who went missing in the bear-inhabited forests of northern Japan for six whole days in , after his parents had apparently abandoned him as a punishment. Backlight is a story featuring a missing seven-year-old boy (based on an actual incident), the novella divided into six chapters, each for a day of his ordeal. The boy, only called A, had been driving in Hokkaido with his family -- father, mother, and sister -- on the last day of the May national holidays.
