2023年1月.26 在紐約時報初讀Hiromi Kawakami’s Tokyo Reading List....Read Your Way Through Tokyo，收藏為".....到東京旅遊要讀的十本日本文學" 。

初五半月又讀之，覺得此書單或為起點的參考， 新春可介紹感想，以遣"悲懷" (初三二十多位後輩群聚台中老家.......)

其中永井荷風，正是下月的活動之討論主題。

剛開始用奧之細道，或許也可作為"讚嘆鄭清茂和莊因的合作佳話 "之引。

The Ten Loves of Mr Nishino

Hiromi Kawakami

Translated by Allison Markin Powell

Over the course of his life, Mr Nishino falls hopelessly in love again and again. One woman is a colleague, another a chance encounter; one is the girlfriend of a classmate, another the best friend of Nishino’s latest conquest. Some are entranced by Nishino, others care more for their freedom, their children (or their cats).

As we come to learn of the torments, desires and delights of each woman, a portrait emerges of a complicated man whose great capacity for love may well be the cause of his downfall.
