I recently read Weasels in the Attic, a set of short stories, by Hiroko Oyamada and Granta have just published The Hole in English language thanks to the translation by David Boyd, so I got first dibs on a new library copy. 
Similarly to WITA, I really enjoyed the writing style and this book did start off as a 5-star reading experience for me. I liked Asa and following her strange new circumstances. This was definitely a thought-provoker with the various personalities in the book. For me I just wanted a clearer ending with a bit of explanation for some of the odd occurrences, but I can appreciate what I took from this story.
What an odd little novella this was, I will keep an eye out for future works from this author.
