Work Information
A memory of morning glories becomes the thread through which images of the past begin to waver among a man and two women.
Beginning with Sugio's childhood memory of morning glories, the novel lets traces of the past seep into his present. His relationships with Yoshiko and Kuniko bring the instability of remembered and retold experience to the foreground, portraying uneasy distances within the mind in dense prose.
