Description

[Machine Translation] In the gap between his year-end concert tour across Japan, he spends his days visiting his father on his sickbed. The memories of Nagasaki in the 1960s, when smiles returned to people's faces after the reconstruction of the city, and of the downtown area where he moved to Tokyo alone at the age of 12, come back to his mind. At the center of his memories, surrounded by the aroma of sponge cake and the music of a violin, is the image of his father, who was selfish and troublesome, but still loved by everyone, and his family, who were constantly pushed around by him. Masashi Sada, a singer-songwriter and author who has continued to weave masterpieces on the theme of family scenes, the passage of time and seasons, and the sparkle of life, dedicates this first autobiographical novel to his father.

かすてぃら (小学館文庫) / さだまさし/著

年末の全国コンサートツアーの間隙を縫って病床の父を見舞う日々。その脳裏に甦る、昭和三十年代、復興から笑顔が戻った長崎、十二歳でひとり上京した下町の人間模様―。カステラの香りとバイオリンの調べに包まれた記憶の中心には、報われず、辛酸を舐め続けても底抜けの明るさで乗り切っていく、身勝手で傍迷惑で、それでも皆から愛された破天荒な父と、振り回され続けた家族の姿があった。シンガーソングライターとして作家として、家族の風景、時間と季節の移ろい、いのちの煌めきをテーマに珠玉の名作を紡ぎ続けるさだまさしが父に捧ぐ、初の自伝的実名小説。
