Yuko Takenaka “Dance” (110 photos) captures a moment in the lives of two women who don’t fit in with society or the world at large: “Me,” a 20-year-old office worker, and Ms. Shimomura, a senior colleague in her 30s who failed in an office romance. A new era company employee novel. The author, who is also a poet and poet, was praised for his completeness in depicting universal themes with humor. Kei Nishina “Loneliness is a ruin” (150 photos) depicts an incident that Len, a graduate student in the Department of Architecture and a part-time worker for men and women, experiences while working as a tourist guide on Amami Oshima. The film was praised for its distorted relationship with its supervisor, which is the reason behind Len’s migration, and for her unique and sexy storytelling style, which mixes Amami dialect and island songs, as well as foreign languages ​​such as English and Chinese. ■From the selection review (excerpt) ▶Naoki Matayoshi (about “dance”) The dialogue was humorous and every scene left a lasting impression. I felt that a lot of information was contained in a few lines, and the abbreviations were very good. (Omitted) While it has the flexibility to be used on stage as it is, at the same time I felt the necessity of choosing the method of writing a novel. ▶ Hitomi Kanehara (about “Loneliness is a Ruin”) Motifs such as dialects and island songs create a strong sense of another world, and the unique use of language makes you feel as if the meaning of the words you normally use and the meaning of the words in the novel are gradually blurring. I felt like I was going to die. ■Award winner biography
