[New Release] Figures Who Crossed Life's Turning Points Without a Climax: 'How Far Have They Come' View original image

The book contains seven short stories. The protagonists are individuals who have passed a turning point in life without reaching their peak. A middle-aged man who harbors self-loathing after a climbing accident and a ‘selfish’ choice he made, which severed his relationship with his climbing brother; a middle-aged woman who leaves a seaside village after hearing her child say that if she divorces her husband, she will live with him; and so on. Each story emits various dissonances within the different time lags caused by the sorrows of aging. It depicts the process in which life’s problems are not easily resolved but lie dormant, suddenly erupting dramatically one day.
