In Japanese, 'Sarinagara' means 'and yet'. This word is the last word of one of the most famous poems of Japanese literature. When he writes it, Kobayashi Issa has just lost his only child: yes, all is emptiness. But Issa mysteriously adds this last word to his poem, leaving its meaning in suspense. This enigma is the theme of a narrative that brings together the stories of three Japanese artists across the centuries: Issa, the last great Haiku master of the 18th century, Natsume Soseki, inventor of the Japanese modern novel at the end of the 19th century, and Yamahata Yosuke, who was the first photographer to take pictures of the victims and ruins of Nagasaki in August 1945. These three 'dreamed lives' make the substance of a narrative that takes the reader from Paris to Kyoto and from Tokyo to Kobe, and asks the question of how anyone can hope to survive the most heartbreaking experience. 'Surviving is both the test and the enigma'. Following the death of his young daughter, the narrator moves to Japan with the project of writing an essay on Japanese literature. There, on the other side of the earth, he experiences a series of incidents that connect him to a recurrent childhood dream and allow him to explore the depth of his own grief through the stories of others. "Sarinagara" is a poignant meditation on the nature of grief, art, and memory.

评分合上书页,走出图书馆,已经是傍晚。太阳快要落山了,金色的光线照耀在小路旁茂盛的两排竹子上,竹叶仿佛镀上了一层金边。我还沉浸在这本书忧伤的故事里,慢慢走着,梳理着繁杂的阅读感受。 也许是读的书还不够多,这本书真的给我带来很大的震撼和感触。平时读的法国小说和日本...
评分之前与之后,我看过,看得不知所措,不知所想,在沉浸了许久之后,意识才慢慢得浮现,它早已渗透在我的每一寸思想里,只是浓厚得化不开。 看过了,许多其他的文字就再也难以入眼 看过了,许多回忆又再一次漂浮在他人的故事之上,那是我的,又不属于我。 每一次阅读,都安静得像...
