"But like a boat with a twisted rudder, I kept coming back to the same place. I wasn't going anywhere. I was myself, waiting on the shore for me to return. Was that so depressing?Who knows? Maybe that was 'despair.' What Turgenev called 'disillusionment.' Or Dostoyevsky, 'hell.' Or Somerset Maugham, 'reality.' Whatever the label, I figured it was me."

"I skipped the thirty-one years between 1938 and 1965 and jumped to the section entitled "Junitaki Today. Of course, the book's "today being 1970, it was hardly today's "today. Still, writing the history of one town obviously imposed the necessity of bringing it up to a "today. And even if such a today soon ceases to be today, no one can deny that it is in fact a today. For if a today ceased to be today, history could not exist as history."

A surrogate Pacman, crunching blindly through a labyrinth of dotted lines. The only certainty was my death."
