About This Novel

To live is to dare to cry, dare to laugh, dare to be angry and be free. And living alone is an attitude towards life. A person's life is not to be completely alone, but to talk more freely with oneself, friends and the world. "Living Alone" is the work of Japanese soul poet Shuntaro Tanikawa when he was in his late seventies. During this period, he experienced the death of his father, the birth of his grandson, the separation of his friends, and began to live alone. Through Shuntaro Tanigawa, we can see the ideal of a person's life: passion, loneliness, elegance and freedom. He defends a person's life, using delicate and Zen-like writing to record those mood swings that are easily obscured by daily trivial matters and difficult to capture. Starting from the trivial and ordinary daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, he writes letters, eats, listens to concerts, and writes poems, describing his understanding of family, friendship, and love, and talks about life, death, and aesthetics wisely and generously. Life is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the author tells everything frankly, creating this collection of essays full of light philosophy on life. Everyone needs a space of their own, where a free soul lives.
