Another that I picked up due to the cover and a desire to find a Japanese author I like. This one was odd, as I am learning most books by Japanese authors are. It was quiet, but I like that in a book. I think it was the odder parts that turned me off some.
When I was young, I didn't think about people dying. But when you get to be my age, people can drop dead, just like that. In an accident. From an illness. By their own hand. By someone else's hand. Or just naturally. People die much more easily at this age than when they are young.
They might drop dead right at the moment when you blamed them for something. They might die the very next day.
Or a month later. Or smack in the middle of the following sea-son. In any case, you never know when people of ripe age will just croak. It keeps you up at night.
Having to worry about whether someone is healthy enough to tolerate my fierce hatred or criticism before I decide to blame them that's what I call getting old. Masayo gave a somewhat serious sigh. But she had a smile on her face. I would never understand her.
Masayo wrapped up by saying, "That's why, when I haven't heard from someone for a while, the first thing that occurs to me is that they might have just keeled over?'
Tegelikult lõpetasin ma selle raamatu lugemise täpselt kuu aega tagasi ja täpselt kuu aega on see minu mõtetega kaasas käinud. Ja kui ma päris aus olen, siis ma ei tea isegi nüüd, kust siis täpselt alustada. See oli valusalt ilus ja ilusalt valus, see kõik, mis leidis aset härra Nakano vanakraamipoes. Ja samas ootasin ma sellelt raamatult midagi muud.
Härra Nakano vanakraamipood toob kokku erinevad inimesed, kes erinevate nipsasjakeste vahel üritavad selles maailmas kuidagi hakkama saada. Üks töötajatest on Hitomi, tagasihoidlik ja ebakindel naine, kes armub Takeosse. Lisaks neile kahele külastab poodi aeg-ajalt härra Nakano õde Masayo, kes on ilmselt kogu romaani kõige normaalsem tegelane.
Raamatut lugedes oli mul pidevalt tegelastest kahju. Nad olid pidevalt erinvatel lainetel, sünkroonist väljas, suutmata suhteid elus hoida. Minu jaoks olid kõik tegelased väga jaapanlikud, eriti Hitomi, kes käis aeg-ajalt mulle lihtsalt närvidele. See, kuidas ta käitus, meenutas mulle üht artiklit jaapani meeste ja naiste erinevatest ootustest romantilistele suhetele, mida Facebook mulle millegipärast aeg-ajalt ette viskab.

It's more of a short story collection surrounding Mr Nakano, the owner of a second hand shop, his sister Masayo, who is free spirited, Hitomi, our main character and Takeo, a young man.
