This book is set in the image of Shonan, where the author spent his junior high and high school days. The cover shows the sweltering heat, “summer” and “sea,” which are the common points of the five recorded works. Shingo Ikeda of next door design worked on the binding. The mysterious and playful illustration that makes the motif appear in the work is drawn by noa1008.
Comments that praise literary nature have arrived!
With a painful precision, Nishida-san has a “literary eye”, scooping out the cruelty of the world and his own ugliness, and the dull brilliance buried there.
–Rhyme Star Utamaru (rapper/radio personality)
It’s hard to imagine from the title “Clumsy”, but anyway, it’s a wonderful piece of writing for a novel. This novel teaches us the true awesomeness, impact, and richness of good writing. Good writing in a novel means that both the writer and the reader can believe the narrative of the novel. And, as hard as it may be to believe, if the writing of a novel is excellent, the story it tells alone will undoubtedly be spectacular and interesting as well.
–Mr. Machiya (novelist)
Collected works
“Legacy”
Then Yuushi is in charge of making Ami’s portrait. During the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school, Yuushi had to make a portrait of a girl who was being bullied in his class. Ami and I, who were both born to poor parents, are the same type of people… While thinking so, Yuushi begins to hand-make a portrait of the deceased. “aquarium”
The activity of the biology department to which I belong is just to search for dried organisms other than whitebait from among dried whitebait on the market. I think it’s boring and useless work, but I don’t want to do anything else. I can barely maintain my pride by looking down on my classmate Hatano. But that summer, Hatano and I went fishing at sea and had a shocking experience.
“burnt stone”
I decided to clean the men’s sauna at the super sento where I work part-time. I was busy with university assignments and job-hunting activities, so the employees took care of me and put me in charge of the sauna room, which has a lot of break time. I’ve gotten used to seeing naked men in my workplace, even though I don’t like them. “tetrodotoxin”
I turned 27 without finding any meaning or purpose in life, and spent my days just increasing the number of people I could experience on a matching app. I am choosing “suicidal suicide”. Sakiko, who is making a dictionary as a hobby, came to a high school reunion that she suddenly felt like attending.
“Wet Rat”
I, an associate professor in the Department of History, should have had plenty of time to get in touch with my boyfriend, Misato, who is 12 years younger than me.
When she started working at a bar, a clerk at the same university, something went wrong.
One morning, I was upset when I realized that Misato had not returned home. ◆ Bibliographic information
