Award-winning author Junzo Shono weaves a stunning tapestry of everyday life in this collection of short stories.
A young man, having failed his college entrance exams, becomes obsessed with a family card game. A businessman stays overnight at an inn and drinks with the innkeeper. A family parakeet seems to be dead but then climbs back on its perch.
This delicate collection of thirteen linked tales reveals the flow of daily life in the modern Japanese family. Junzo Shono''s artful layering of commonplace events, images, and conversations has been compared to haiku poetry crossed with an Ozu film.
