Diary of a Cannibal. The Story of a Japanese Cannibal Who Gained Fame Instead of a Sentence

The murder of Rene Hartevelt in 1981 shocked the entire civilized world. Issei Sagawa, a Japanese student who studied in France, lured his classmate to his apartment and, after killing her, turned her body into a feast.
In France, Sagawa was committed to a psychiatric hospital, where he was supposed to stay for life. But after a few years, Japanese diplomats managed to secure his deportation. The cannibal was returned to Japan, where local doctors deemed him sane and released him.
Issei Sagawa not only regained his freedom but also became... a well-known chef, culinary critic, and successful writer.
