Traveling Practice

Klappentext

Traveling Practice follows a novelist and his spirited niece as they embark on a walk across the Japanese countryside during the last days before the pandemic. Through their journey, the book masterfully explores themes of memory and the power of writing to capture fleeting moments and preserve them. Nominated for the prestigious Akutagawa Prize and winner of both the Mishima Yukio Prize and the Tsubota Joji Literature Prize, Traveling Practice's quiet, reflective tone and focus on the characters' inner lives elevate it beyond a simple travel story, establishing it as a significant work of literary fiction.
