[Machine Translation] On that island, memories gradually disappear. Birds, ferries, perfume, and left feet. No matter what disappears, the islanders adapt and accept the fact without hesitation. I, who write novels for a living, was no exception. Until one day, a novel disappeared from the island. A timeless masterpiece that continues to receive worldwide acclaim more than 25 years after its publication. 2019 National Book Award Finalist in Translation! 2020 Booker International Prize Finalist!
