It has been said that at any given moment, sixty percent of Japanese are involved in writing a novel. And all of them autobiographical.
This is how the novel begins. I have found this book in Oxfam (of course). Neither the name of the author nor the title were familiar, but the drawing on the dust jacket and rough-cut edge got my attention. Inside, there was a beautiful origami gift tag, probably used as a bookmark by the previous owner. As soon as I read a few lines, I knew I have to take it home.
It did not disappoint.
