Set in post-World War II Japan, the story follows Tsuyoshi Manase as he tries to build a peaceful life as a bookstore owner and family man. However, his past as a soldier continually disrupts his attempts at normalcy, leading to a profound exploration of guilt and the struggle for redemption. This poignant narrative delves into themes of memory and the lasting impact of war, earning acclaim as the winner of Japan's Akutagawa Prize. Translated by James Westerhoven, it offers a deep reflection on the human condition.
