What a Good Couple

It's quite interesting, the emotional descriptions are delicate but not divorced from reality, and the descriptions of local customs and customs are also very interesting. All in all, I can't find any shortcomings. Compared to the novel, I like the prose "The Possibility of Osaka" the most, and it was this article that made me give this book five stars. What I like most about the intimacy in prose is that it feels like it cannot be expressed in novels. When I read Osamu Dazai on Tomato before, I also liked "The Handsome Man and the Cigarette" more than "The Unworthy of the World." When I read Haruki Murakami, I also liked his essays more (speaking of Murakami, my favorite of his novels is "After Dark", the plot of Mari and Takahashi getting along is very interesting). Although this book has been promoted in the Osaka accent, I can't quite tell it. This may be a charm that only Japanese readers can detect. Only then did I realize that although it was called "The Couple Is Good", the article "The Couple Is Good" was not included at all.

Suitable for reading before going to bed. The detailed description is very period-flavored, and some scenes make people feel trance-like. Passing through the fish-shaped lanterns and walking amidst the noise, my face was illuminated by the hanging lanterns. The smell of Taiyaki, Jinpei candy, and apple candy entered my nose. When I raised my head, sweet, hot, and bright things rushed over me. The light spots on my face were staggered and light. Suddenly looking back, I realized that what I wrote was seven or eight years ago. There are many such descriptions in the article. Although they are cumbersome and boring, they are also full of mediocre beauty. Like a candied haws in your hand, the sugar has melted to your fingertips.

This book is very interesting. The author uses a unique perspective to portray many "marginal people", allowing us to see all kinds of different lives. The characters in the story are all real, and their actions and choices are thought-provoking. Moreover, the description of Osaka's customs and people in the book is also very vivid, as if you can actually smell the aroma of those delicious foods, which makes people feel very friendly. I recommend that you also read this book, you will definitely have a different feeling.

Maybe it's a problem with my understanding or maybe it's a problem with the translation. Anyway, I haven't experienced the unique charm of a literary writer. Maybe you still have to buy a physical book to feel it
