Behind the murmur of the bar, the lonely time of its people comes into view.
In Taka Ishiwa's manner, the novel observes human weakness and absurdity while portraying loneliness at the edge of daily life. The bar connects the characters' memories with the present.

ジワッとくる石和鷹らしいスト－リーと語り手の心情。
久しぶりに石和鷹を読んだ。４編の作品とも、なかなか良い。ジワッとくる石和鷹らしい展開と語り口。地味だけど何度も読み返したくなる作品を残してくれた作家だ。中年男性が自分の人生を見つめ直すようなところが、自分の心情にフィットする。
