Summary: Haunting and beautiful
Review: Natsuki Ikezawa's short story collection is one of the best I've read, and my favorite book by a Japanese writer. The translation is excellent, and all the beauty of the language appears to come out clearly. Although it's not really mentioned, Ikezawa is writing science fiction or fantasy in most of his stories. But the most important part of this book is the way he conjures up the lives of ordinary people. He makes you see the beauty of being human.
