이 책은 1964년 도쿄 올림픽을 배경으로 한 픽션이다.

오쿠다 히데오는 전작에서 이라부(공중그네), 아버지 이치로(남쪽으로 튀어), 히사오(스무 살, 도쿄) 등 독특하면서 무겁지 않은 소시민적 영웅을 창조해냈다. 하지만 이번엔 캐릭터보다는 철저히 이야기의 힘에 의지한다.

‘남쪽으로 튀어’ ‘공중 그네’ 등으로 국내에서도 인기를 얻고 있는 오쿠다 히데오의 신작 ‘올림픽의 몸값’은 여러 면에서 복고적인 소설이다. 우선은 시대 배경이 그렇다. 때는 1964년 올림픽 개막을 앞둔 도쿄. 전후 새롭게 건설된 지 20년도 되지 않은 도쿄에는 앞으로 이 도시의 상징이 될 거대한 건물들이 한창 들어서고 있는 중이다. 요요기 종합체육관이 지붕부터 위용을 드러내고 있고 고속열차가 다니기 시작하며 젊은 여성들은 비틀스에 열광한다.

처음 이 편지를 단순한 장난으로 치부했던 경찰과 공안국은 비상 상태에 돌입한다. 무엇보다 언론에 이 사건이 새나가지 않도록 보안에 만전을 기하며 범인을 추격하기 시작한다. 만약 보도가 된다면 국제적인 행사를 앞두고 일본의 신뢰도에 치명적인 손상을 줄 수 있다는 판단에서다. 범죄 현장을 추적한다는 점에서 스릴러의 형식을 갖췄지만, 예상과 달리 범인이 누구인지는 1권 중반에 이르기도 전에 윤곽이 드러난다. 아키타의 가난한 시골에서 태어났으나 영화배우 못지않은 외모와 천재성으로 도쿄대 경제학부에 진학해 대학원에서 공부하고 있는 시마자키 구니오다. 그는 도쿄 올림픽을 볼모로 거액의 돈을 요구한다. 만약 그것이 수용되지 않는다면, 개막식 당일 행사장 한 곳을 폭파하겠다고 협박한다. 그야말로 ‘올림픽의 몸값’을 내놓으라는 당돌한 요구다.

한국과 일본의 경제 격차가 몇 년인지를 어림할 때 기준으로 잡던 굵직한 이벤트가 올림픽이다. 1988년 서울올림픽을 개최했을 때 온 나라가 들썩였다. 일본은 그 24년 전인 1964년에 겪은 일이다. 소설은 도쿄올림픽을 몇 달 앞둔 시점부터 진행된다. ‘이러다가 올림픽이 열릴 수 있을까’ 싶을 정도로 도시 곳곳은 여전히 공사판이고, 건조한 날씨는 계속돼 단수가 되기 일쑤다. 올림픽의 성공적 개최를 위해서 야쿠자조차 협력할 만큼 온 국민의 염원은 강렬하다. 그런데 난데 없는 테러가 시작된다. 올림픽 경비의 최고 책임자의 집, 경찰대학에서 차례로 폭발사고가 일어난다. 그럼에도 신문이나 방송에 기사 한 줄 나가지 않는다. 올림픽에 방해가 되면 안되니까.

올림픽의 몸값 1, 2

오쿠다 히데오 지음/ 양윤옥 옮김/ 은행나무/ 1권 472쪽, 2권 468쪽/ 각 권 1만3000원

대담무쌍하게 경시청에 협박장까지 보내는 방화범의 요구는 당돌하다. 올림픽을 무사히 치르고 싶으면 몸값을 지불하라는 것. 경찰은 외부에는 철저히 비밀에 부친 채 수사를 진행하지만, 범인은 잡히지 않고 방화는 계속된다.

올림픽의 몸값 1·2
<공중그네> <남쪽으로 튀어> 등 작품으로 한국 독자들의 사랑을 받아온 오쿠다 히데오의 신작 장편소설. 1960년 도쿄 올림픽을 앞두고 연쇄 방화 사건이 일어난다. 방화범은 올림픽을 제대로 치르고 싶다면 ‘올림픽의 몸값’을 지불하라고 요구한다. 작품에서는 세 명의 주인공이 이 사건과 뒤얽힌다. 작가는 세 주인공을 서로 다른 시간대에 설정한 다음 과거와 현재가 교차해 가면서 이야기가 정점을 향해 치닫는 구성을 사용했다.

【서울=뉴시스】윤근영 기자 = 오쿠다 히데오(奥田英朗·51)의 신작 ‘올림픽의 몸값’은 정치소설에 가까운 대중소설이다. 올림픽을 인질로 몸값 8000만엔을 요구하는 범인의 정체는 ‘빨갱이’니, ‘북조선’이니 하는 낯익은 단어들이 훑고 간다.

2권짜리 올림픽의몸값이 모두 출간됐다. 1권의 1쿼터(1/4)까지는 미스터리 장르적으로 범인을 추적하는 소설은 1권 중반부터 정치적인 목소리를 섞는다. 각 장에서 중심인물을 달리해 서로 다른 시간대로 전개되는 이야기는 엇갈리듯 진척되다 톱니바퀴처럼 맞물린다.

8월22일 토요일 ‘스가 다다시’의 집에 방화 사건이 일어나는 것으로 이야기가 시작한다. 8월30일 경시청 형사 ‘오치아이 마사오’, 다시 7월13일의 ‘시마자키 구니오’로 이어진다. 8월에서 9월로, 7월에서 8월로 무작위 교차되며 펼쳐지던 소설은 어느 순간 교집합으로 빈칸을 채운다. 직감으로 지목한 범인은 한 차례 반전도 없이 윤곽을 드러낸다. ‘이것은 단순한 미스터리 소설이 아닙니다’라고 말하는 것처럼….

올림픽의몸값에는 시마자키 구니오라는 명백한 연쇄방화범이자 테러리스트가 등장한다. 그러나 그는 어느새 독자들을 자기 편으로 끌어당긴다. 출중한 외모에 명석한 두뇌가 지닌 겉보기 매력도 무시할 수 없다. 사회 부적응자로서의 연쇄방화범이 아닌, 완벽한 남자의 테러리즘은 학생운동 그 이상을 제시한다.

<올림픽의 몸값. 1>
오쿠다 히데오 지음 / 양윤옥 엮음

‘올림픽’을 인질로 국가와 한 판 승부를 벌이는 젊은 영웅의 이야기를 그린 소설이다. 1964년 도쿄올림픽을 배경으로 한 픽션으로, 면밀한 고증과 자료 조사를 거친 실제 지명과 상황 등을 구성 요소로 담고 있다. 인간에 대한 애정 어린 시선과 섬세한 심리묘사, 영화를 보는 듯 치밀한 서술로 흡입력을 더한다. 은행나무 펴냄. 1만3000원

`뜨거운 가슴으로`를 슬로건으로 내건 겨울올림픽이 캐나다 밴쿠버에서 한창 열리고 있다. 개최국인 캐나다의 신경도 온통 올림픽으로 쏠린 듯하다. 전 세계의 눈길이 몰리는 축제인 만큼 당연한 일이다. 한 치의 실수도 용납되지 않는 상황이니까….

우리나라가 1988년 서울올림픽을 개최했을 때 온 나라가 `올림픽 모드`에 들어갔던 기억도 아직 생생하다.

일본 소설가 오쿠다 히데오의 `올림픽의 몸값`(양윤옥 옮김, 은행나무 펴냄)의 출발은 바로 이 시점이다. 1964년 도쿄올림픽을 몇 달 앞둔 여름, 일본 국민의 모든 관심이 올림픽으로 쏠려 있던 시기가 바로 시간적 배경이다.

<공중그네>, <남쪽으로 튀어!>로 잘 알려진 오쿠다 히데오, 그의 이름은 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"코믹\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"한 소설의 대명사로 통한다. 하지만 3년여 만에 선보이는 신작 장편소설 <올림픽의 몸값>에서는 그런 모습이 보이지 않는다. 당돌하게 진지하다고 해야 할까? 올림픽을 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"인질\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" 삼아 국가를 협박하는 청년의 이야기가 담긴 이 소설은 오쿠다 히데오의 소설답지 않게 진지하며 또한 문제적이다. 다시 말해, 오쿠다 히데오 소설의 새로운 모습을 보여주는 것이다.



도쿄에서 처음으로 올림픽이 개최되려고 하던 그 시절, 일본인들은 흥분하고 있었다. 전쟁의 아픔을 뒤로 하고 국가적인 행사를 성공적으로 치르자는 마음에 모두가 단결하고 있었다. 국민들이 자발적으로 쓰레기를 치우는 것은 예삿일이고 올림픽 기간에는 야쿠자들이 알아서 도쿄를 떠나있겠다고 할 정도였다. 모두가, 올림픽의 성공을 기원하고 있었다.



그런데 이런 분위기에 찬물을 끼얹는 사건이 발생한다. 경찰서로 협박편지가 날아온 것이다. 처음에는 다들 장난이겠거니 했는데 일이 생긴다. 올림픽 경비의 총책임을 맡은 경시감의 집에서 폭파 사건이 벌어진 것이다. 이어서 경찰학교의 기숙사도 폭발하는 등 폭파사건은 계속해서 발생한다. 당황한 경찰은 모든 인력을 동원해 사건을 단순 화재 사건으로 처리하면서 범인을 잡는 데 주력한다. 그래서 유력한 용의자를 찾아내게 되는데, 뜻밖에도 도쿄대 경제학부 대학원생이었다. 이름은 사마자키 구니오.



지금도 그렇지만 도쿄 올림픽이 열리던 시절만 하더라도 도쿄대 학생이라면 대단한 엘리트로 대우받고 있었다. 사회적인 성공이 보장된 건 당연한 일이었다. 그런데 구니오는 무엇 때문에 올림픽을 인질 삼아 대담한 폭파 사건을 벌이는 것일까? 극단적인 사상가일까? 아니면 돈이 필요해서일까?

지난 2월을 기억하는가? 늦추위가 기승을 부리던 그때, 김연아 선수를 비롯한 동계올림픽 출전 선수들의 선전으로 우리는 그야말로 푸근하고 행복한 겨울을 보냈다. 하지만 올림픽의 때 아닌 특수 덕에 2009년 최고 기대작 <올림픽의 몸값>은 그야말로 베스트셀러의 목전에서 눈물을 삼켜야 했다. 결과적으로 대중은 ‘밴쿠버 동계 올림픽’에는 열광했지만, <공중그네>의 베스트셀러 작가 오쿠다 히데오가 내놓은 신작 <올림픽의 몸값>은 기억해주지 않았다.
