Years go by as the young man graduates from college. The second part of the story focuses on the young man’s home life. He warns the young man that when he hears his story his admiration of the old man will turn to disdain and disillusionment. But he promises the young man that he will tell him the story when the time is right. Who that deceased person is becomes the key to the story. His only activity is making a monthly visit a grave at a local cemetery. Sensei has no real friends other than the young man. He seems to be a scholar but doesn’t read or write, he just “hangs out.” The interesting thing about the “wise” old man is that he does nothing. Over time he develops a strong admiration for him, visiting at his home and calling him Sensei. I hope everyone can use this time to work on their own Japanese goals.The main character is a young man, a college student, who meets an older man at a beach resort. After studying for more than 5 years, it feels great to be able to do something academic with the language, like I've finally crossed a long plateau. I know nobody cares, but I just wanted to share my happiness in being able to achieve one of my language goals.
I've been out of uni for a while, and it's been a while since I last tried something academic, but after I've read those I'm going to try to write an essay on the books. After that I'm going to try to read 東京奇譚集. I'm moving on to another of his short story collections, 女のいない男たち, and I'm going to try to finish this one by the end of June. Finishing the book, I felt like I was able to understand the links between them, and the cohesive message the author was trying to impart. While there were times I felt a bit lost,due to both the difficulty of the language and inherent slipperiness of his works, after finishing each story I felt like I could properly grasp the themes of the story. While it's just a small step to be able to read some of Japan's literary classics, I'm glad I was finally able to read one in their original language. Since reading a whole novel would a long, intimidating process, I opted first to try to read one of his short story collections.Īfter around two months of scattered reading, I finally managed to finish "神の子どもたちはみな踊る" 短編小説集. After studying Murakami Haruki in English, it's been a goal of my for a while to be able to read one of his works in Japanese. I recently just finished reading my first novel.
