This work by Shigeo Fujii won the fifty-third Naoki Prize. HMV's Kadokawa Bunko bibliographic record confirms ISBN 9784041479018 and ISBN-10 4041479010. The original Bungeishunju Shinsha edition predates the ISBN system, so the confirmed paperback edition is used.
Review Summaries
-
The appeal lies in the tactile sense of Osaka and the lived reality of each character. Rather than dramatic events, the novel gains depth from the accumulation of urban and personal memory.
