What to do to save the world literary world

[Respectfully, Teacher Ayukihiro

Hello, I am a foreigner who recently read your book. My Japanese is not very sensitive, so there may be a lot of grammatical mistakes, please forgive me.

About a month ago, I bought a book in a bookstore, which was "Pigs in the Pigsty" by Mr. Yamamoto Junhei. Later, someone told me that he was your father, so I will give it to you without any hesitation. The letter mentioned the names and works of other writers.

I read Mr. Yamamoto's works first, and I read them in chronological order. Except for Mr. Yamamoto's first book, which was the first book I read, "Pigs in a Pigsty", I read other works very quickly.

It's not that I don't like that book, it's just that it stands out compared to the others.

Starting from Mr. Yamamoto's second book, I read it in chronological order within a week. To be honest, that week was of great help to my Japanese improvement.

Since the second book, my heart has followed Mr. Yamamoto (should that be the word here?)

On the cover of Mr. Yamamoto's second book is the critic's introduction "The Raving of a Lonely Man Abandoned by the World", which is exactly in line with the state I was in when I first read Mr. Yamamoto's book.

Before I came to Japan, I suffered a huge failure at work. Betrayed and abandoned, I and my subordinates were forced to leave that country together. We all became a group of people without a home and identity.

At that time, I came to Japan for business opportunities and read Mr. Yamamoto's book.

I was like, isn't that me?

Isn't Mr. Yamamoto's book a true portrayal of my heart?

I can't wait to read Mr. Yamamoto's book, hoping to see what this writer who has the same thoughts as me wants to express in the future.

I can tell you now without hesitation, and it is precisely because I have given up that I can tell you without hesitation that I thought about taking revenge on society at that time.

Of course, I also thought about ending my life, but in the end I chose to take revenge on the society. Fortunately, before I really did anything, I came to Japan.

Fortunately, I read Mr.'s book.

I finished reading all of Mr.’s books that week, maybe because I read them too fast, so I haven’t accepted the change in my thinking for a while.

That man, the protagonist in those books, how could they accept that they can still love life after being abandoned by the world?

As I said at the beginning of this letter, I felt that Mr.'s first book was out of touch with the rest, but when I read all the books and went back to the first one, I understood.

"Pigs in a Pigsty" is persistence, the theme of everything, and all subsequent books are based on it.

If you don't stick to a certain belief, there is no way for a desperate and lonely person to live.

I'm sorry to say so much about other people in my letter to you, but if you don't mind, you can also show it to Mr. Yamamoto.

Here are some of my thoughts about you.

After reading Mr. Yamamoto's book again, I went on to read yours.

To be honest, I think your book is better in terms of writing, concept and other aspects, but maybe it is because I first read Mr. Yamamoto's book, so I prefer Mr. Yamamoto's book.

This may be the so-called "imprint follow-up effect".

Perhaps when you see this, you may jump up in embarrassment and yell at this reader for what is going on, and who is this letter for!

This is my personal image of you from what I read from your book.

My friend who is a loyal reader of yours recommended many books for me and helped me send this letter, he told me that you are an underage young woman, so let me imagine, your image is probably like that of.

Ayuu-sensei, you are more determined than Mr. Yamamoto.

I can feel that you have always held a firm goal, from the very beginning to the end, you have never wavered in the slightest.

Mr. Yamamoto still has moments when he yells at the world with loneliness and hesitation, but you are very firm from beginning to end.

So I want to ask you for knowledge.

Mr. Yamamoto is the one who brought me back from the negativity of the world to the edge of the world. Can you make me resolve to return to the world?

I want to ask you.

Where is the home of the soul?

My companions and I have lost our homeland, our faith, and our soul, where should we go?

How can you be so determined?

【ギデ君

I read your letter, and although there are only a few numbers in it that refer to me, since my name is written in the title, I presume that it is indeed a letter from you.

I'm sorry, your friend is also my friend, and he is closer to me, so he revealed some things about you to me.

This is just a joke, it's purely my inference.

After all, the letters of the two of you are packed in the same envelope and mailed from the same post office with the same stamp. I can't help but think that the "friend" mentioned in your letter is the other party.

Forgive him, he wasn't mean and didn't tell me anything, he - I didn't use his name, after all I knew he was probably in some dangerous business, don't know if he told you about him Real name, in order to prevent him from being exposed, I will not say his name, this can be regarded as our secret, don't tell him that I know what he does.

All he told me was that he had a new friend who was confused and wanted to help you make something.

He's a really sweet friend, isn't he?

He mentioned that you were trying to write something, just like him.

Isn't this the solution?

Isn't writing, literature, whatever you want to call it the answer to everything?

I think that all questions can be answered in the book - of course, not those scientific questions, since you know my age, I don't have any scruples, to be honest, those physical and chemical questions are really difficult for me.

All the philosophical questions of human beings, where do I come from and where am I going, can find answers in literature.

Maybe literature will not intuitively tell you what you should do, but literature will make you understand what you should do.

You mentioned that Yamamoto's book made you feel the same way, so you must have gone through a very difficult time.

(Because you mentioned Yamamoto Shuhei throughout your letter to me, I was very upset, so I decided to call him by his first name.)

I can tell you some stories about how Haruhei Yamamoto cheered up, maybe you can get some inspiration from it.

Now when the literary world discusses the creative background of Yamamoto Chunhei, it is believed that his first book was written in a painful but hopeful life, and the second and subsequent books are about him standing up again after being hit hard by life perception.

So they all thought that maybe at that time, my seriously ill mother died, which gave Yamamoto Chunping a blow, made him doubt the world, and the existence of the only child—that is, me—made him gradually have hope in life and stand on his feet again. stand up.

Everything seemed to be right, my mother was seriously ill but still alive, which gave him hope, but her death left Yamamoto Haruhei for a while, and eventually Yamamoto Junhei regained hope in life because he had to raise his young daughter.

It really seems very plausible, and I would have believed it if I hadn't been that daughter.

I can't tell you the truth, but I was only four or five years old at the time, so it's safe to say I don't remember.

In short, from the beginning to the end, Yamamoto Chunhei followed literature.

He has indeed experienced a very serious blow. In terms of literature, the blow is as serious as the collapse of the world. To be more specific, he wrote an entire book on the computer and found that he did not save it. The blow was even more serious than that.

It was literature that made him slump for a time-this reason also applies to me. You said that I have always been steadfast, although there is generally nothing wrong with it, but that incident also gave me a huge blow.

If we want to materialize the thing that Junhei Yamamoto has been chasing, then we can call that thing "Akutagawa"②, which is the approval of a man named Akutagawa.

The problem you mentioned about "Pigs in a Pigsty" being incompatible with other books is because this book was written earlier than the others.Although they say that the time of publication is not too different, and it seems that nothing major happened during the period, in fact, this book was written much earlier than the others, so they are so far behind.

Ten years ago we wanted to escape Yokohama, so Junhei Yamamoto took out his old book and sent it to the publisher, and then we had the money to survive outside Yokohama, so you can actually ignore this book when you read other books.

In short, I can't give a precise answer to your question.

All I can say is, go and seek literature.

Read books, and if you can't find the answer after reading all the books, write.

Words are things that can be used to communicate between people who are far apart.

Just like me and you, you can ask me about your confusion, although I can't give you the answer, but if you write your thoughts into a book, your readers and your communication may hide your answer.At least it can inspire you.

Mori Ogai finished reading the few letters in his hand.

This is the writer's correspondence that he secretly copied while his favorite writer was in Yokohama, seized by the postal system.

Unexpectedly, a big fish was caught.

Mori Ogai dialed Black Lizard's internal number: "The address I just gave you, the two traitors are there."

The other side quickly prepares for action.

"Rin Taro is a big fool!" The blond dress loli next to Mori Ogai laughed triumphantly at Mori Ogai, "By the time someone rushes over, the two of them must have already run away!"

"And that Gide, Rintaro certainly didn't expect that he would become a team with that guy Dazai, right? Rintaro let them meet, isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot!"

"We can also get their escape route from the letter to Teacher Hibiki." Mori Ogai was laughed at by the cute loli, but he was very happy.

"They will find out sooner or later. They are not stupid, and they will definitely stop communicating after a few times!" Loli said with a look of hatred.

"That guy Dazai will definitely find out that Rintaro did it, and then he will tell Oda, and Oda will tell Hibiki-sensei, Hibiki-sensei will definitely be angry with Alice! The skirt that Hibiki-sensei gave to Hibiki-sensei last time is nonexistent It's all Lin Taro's fault!"

"I just don't want them to communicate." Mori Ogai looked conspiratorial, "Ms. Hibiki has not written a new book, and these people must have taken up precious time."

"There is no correspondence, so we can see the new book sooner?" Mori Ogai picked up the letter paper, "Also, the [Akutagawa] mentioned here...is worth investigating, that man named Akutagawa. "

The author has something to say:

Mori Ogai: I have a special method of prompting manuscripts: No

① I copied Gide’s French to Japanese directly. If there is a mistake, it is because his Japanese is not good (

② Refers to the Akutagawa Award, a literary award established in memory of Akutagawa Ryunosuke.Akutagawa's recognition actually refers to the recognition of the literary world.

Because before the crossing, Yamamoto Chunhei went to lie on the track because he didn't get the Akutagawa Award and was rescued by the sound. )

what... bad news

I went to learn to drive again

Readers who have read my last book (or maybe the last book) may see that I have studied for a driver's license for a year and haven't taken subject two yet:(

At this time last year, I took the first exam, and then a year later (so embarrassing)

So because I have to learn to drive (I plan to take the second and third subjects together at the end of the month), so in July, I may only be able to update every other day or follow the list.

I hope everyone understands!

After passing the exam, I will update it every day!
