The 64th Yomiuri Prize for Literature!

Masashi Matsui's amazing debut, a big-name rookie who continues the legitimacy of the Japanese literary circle!

Is there another beautiful opening line that is as beautiful as "It was the home of the snow when I got out of the long tunnel at the border" (from "Snowpiercer"? Is there another sentence that is as immersive as Osamu Kawabata's confession? A long-lasting work in the history of modern Japanese literature has appeared, with Yasunari Kawabata's intense description, deep contemplation by Osamu Dazai, and even a stylish margin by Haruki Murakami. The main character is "Summer Remains There for a Long Time" by Masashi Matsui, a big rookie who debuted as a late writer after leaving his long career as an editor. It is a novel about a beautiful summer day of an old architect who encourages humans and pursues architecture for life, and a young protagonist who follows him in awe. With this work, Masashi Matsui became the main character of the "64th Yomiuri Literature Award," which is given to long-loved and complete works by readers, such as Kenzaburo Oe's "Women Listening to Rainleys" and Haruki Murakami's "Taeyeopmakami Bird," and was ranked as the best 5th in the best-selling chart "Kinobes! 2013" selected by bookstore workers at Kinokuniya, a leading Japanese bookstore. At the moment of "Summer Remains There for a Long Time," we will meet a new zingyeong of Japanese literature, starting with the first sentence, "The teacher wakes up first in the summer vacation house."
