具体描述
In Japanese folklore, a ghost that arise from the burial of a pregnant woman is an Ubume .
The Summer of Ubume is the first of Japan's hugely popular Kyogokudo series, which has 9 titles and 4 spinoffs thus far.
Akihiko "Kyogokudo" Chuzenji, the title's hero, is an exorcist with a twist: he doesn't blieve in ghosts. To circumnavigate his clients' inability to come to grips with a problem being their own, he creates fake supernatural explanations--ghosts--that he the "exorcises" by way of staged rituals. His patients' belief that he has vanquished the ghost creating their problems cures them.
In this first adventure, Kyogokudo, must unravel the mystery of a woman who has been pregnant for 20 months and find her husband, who disappeared two months into the pregnancy. And unravel he does, in the book's final disturbing scene.

读后感
合上书的一瞬间，我的脑子有点儿混乱。书中集合了大量的信息，让我一时间无法消化。这本书耗去了我两天多的时间，原因之一，离不开本书开头的那些长篇理论研究。 。关于本书。 姑获鸟、产女、灵魂、存在与不存在、心与脑、自闭症与抑郁症、假性怀孕、多重人格、无头儿、心因性...
我看到最后才隐隐的了解，原来京极堂一直捂着不让看的东西，原来不是光怪陆离的老太太们的话题 ；是社会学怀抱里的一株奇葩----民俗学。 民俗学：民俗学（folklore）是一门针对信仰、风俗、口传文学、传统文化及思考模式进行研究，来阐明这些民俗现象在时空中流变意义的学科。...

《姑获鸟之夏》是值得反复玩味的经典小说，就是说，这是本即便知道了结局，还会忍不住去重头体会、寻找、验证的书，光那个看得见别人记忆的侦探，就很让我很有兴趣去验证他的“线索”。当然，首先要有耐心挺过那教科书一样的、让人头晕脑胀的京极堂先生的大篇论述，我认为这是...
京极夏彦是在用写论文的方式些推理小说，这也是很多炫学成分的作者们让人又爱又恨的地安。写论文，就需要找到一个很好的角度和有趣的立论点，然后展开论述。这点在京极夏彦、麻耶雄嵩、岛田庄司、绫迁行人等人身上特别明显。 诚然，这样的方式会让小说显得非常复杂，涉及到各...

A book of continuous "babbling" of the main character, Kyogokudo. But strangely the "babbling", which actually is the combination of the processes of conjecture and exorcism, is quite charming and enlightening. It's hard not to admire the knowledge of the writer after reading it, whom is said to be the closest to Nobel Prize among Japanese writers.
