"Impermanence is the way of the world, but books also have their own peculiar fates. The life of a book is also the story of the people involved with it" (from this book). Books written by Ken Takakura's ancestors, the writer Kinzo Satomura who was a deserter, a novel written by Hisashi Inoue's father, a catalog of forgeries that even critics were fooled by, those who become engrossed in forgeries... 56 stories revolving around books and people, such as unexpected books by unexpected people, and the dramas hidden behind a single book. Illustrations by Shinbo Minami. No noticeable scratches, stains, burns, or discoloration. #Tatsuro Dekune #Tatsuro_Dekune #Book #JapaneseLiterature/Essays and Miscellany
