Rental Person Who Does Nothing
by Shoji Morimoto
An eye-opening, witty reflection on 21st-century loneliness which examines human connection (or lack thereof) in Japan. Written in an anecdotal, slice-of-life style, the author recounts his experiences working as a rental person who is hired by strangers for accompaniment. His clients' reasons for hiring a rental person vary widely, but his unique career highlights the impact of loneliness in modern-day Japan.
