Soseki is one of Japan's classic writers. Here, his facile blending of narrative and sharp dialogue leaves the reader with an almost personal knowledge of the characters. We are introduced to Keitaro, a recent college graduate hunting for his first job; he is the hero through whose eyes the other characters are seen. It is this sort of detailed analysis of the world that enables Keitaro - and Soseki himself - to come closer to the very core of life itself.
