A moving book, perfect to give to someone special. I experienced farewells in my twenties and thirties. One was my younger brother, and the other was my ex-wife. I wondered why they had to suffer so much. That shock turned into the feeling of, why only me? However, as I faced those things, I eventually began to see things only those who have experienced farewells can see. It might be a tenderness for the time they lived, or perhaps a self-admonishment to keep living. (From the preface) In addition to essays from the weekly magazine "Shukan Gendai" series "So What?", this book includes four new essays written specifically for it.
