You never know when you will cease having access to the archive of your past. The physical relics of your youth will eventually be lost to you. But memories are fickle, slippery things, like silver mackerel. They go fuzzy around the edges, grainy in the center, like an old photograph and fall from our hands just when we try to firmly grasp them.
Though I have never read The Makioka Sisters (though I definitely will now), I absolutely loved An Artist of the Floating World. If you are interested in the concept of memories in general, I suggest reading Oliver Sacks’s work (he’s a neuroscientist, so not fictional). I wrote an article about his work about 3 weeks ago.
Your writing flows so nicely by the way! Great article

I think pre-ordering is still allowed! You might be done with all your books at home by the time it releases!
