Oh, I remember this book pretty well. The atmosphere was quite gloomy overall, but the ending hits you in the face so you are left with that 頭の中が真っ白になった～ type of feeling. It's really impressive. I think it made the main character reconsider some of his actions too.
Thank you for the post and the grammar explanations!
With pleasure~ What about Nagai Kafu for example? I don't know whether you've already posted anything by him, though.
I have only read some of his books so far, but I remember I liked his "腕くらべ". And the author himself was such a cool person living in the 20th century, going abroad, writing books, doing rakugo and befriending geishas. They didn't have rock stars back then, but that's probably what I would call a glamourous lifestyle one hundred years ago.
That's a great suggestion! I don't think I've done one of his works. As you say, he's one of those larger than life type of figures. I'll try to use something of his for tomorrow's post. :)

Thank you for suggesting it! Doing this post made me want to re-read the book…hopefully I'll have some time soon. So many books, so little time!
I know that feeling all too well ^^" Good luck with that!
Thanks! And feel free to let me know if there's anything else you'd like to read here.
