¡Yamashita Sumito / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] The 156th Akutagawa Award (2nd half of fiscal year 2008) winning work! Nineteen-year-old Sumito Yamashita heads north by boat to study at a drama school. He arrives at a "valley" where young aspiring actors and playwrights are living a self-sufficient communal life. The young men face harsh physical labor, friction with their "teacher," and feelings that swing between a local woman and their peers. In addition to the title story, written in the face of the pain of remembering, the collection also includes a short story that reflects the disturbing inner life on the eve of the entrance examinations for the school.
