Kino's Journey

"Kino, why do you keep traveling?"

"Well, sometimes I can't help wondering if I'm a hopelessly stupid little runt. Or maybe a really despicable person? I don't know why, but that's just how I feel sometimes..."

"But then I feel how beautiful and perfect the ways of life of the world and other people are, quite apart from my own. And I find them adorable, too..."

"I think I began this journey because I wanted to understand these things better."

A series of short stories about the travels of Kino, a human, and Hermes, a motorcycle who can talk. An entirely new kind of novel makes its debut!
