Description
[Machine Translation] Masatoshi Katagiri survived on Iwo Jima, where more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers died, and continued to live in a cave for more than three years after the war ended. (He asked me, a newspaper reporter, to write an article about his diary, which he had hidden in a rock cave when he surrendered. However, Katagiri commits suicide on Iwo Jima, the island he had just re-embarked on. As "I" scrambles to find out the cause, he soon discovers the depth of the scars the war has left on Katagiri's heart. In addition to "Iwo Jima," which won the 37th Akutagawa Award, this collection includes six short stories that are masterpieces of war literature, including "Ah, Etajima," a coming-of-age story about the struggles of a young man attending the Naval Academy, which was made into a movie.
