Japanese Literature
Isn't lonely death unexpectedly happy? KOMADA Setuko, who lives alone in her parents' house in Zushi, is a novelist. Twenty years ago, her work 『 Ubasute 』 was made into a TV drama, and she continues to have a dinner party with five people : former TV station producer Onosaka Tetsuko, scenario writer Tatekawa Nobuyo, actress Senda Tomoe, and director's wife tanizaki Suzu. In the winter, three years after Sezuko's Kanreki party, she received news that Suzu died in isolation in an apartment in Sendagi. Many people speculate about her mysterious death. At the beginning of the new year, Suzu's former husband Kajitani also died in isolation. Each of the members of the dinner party received a New Year's card with a suicide note from each of them. Feeling suspicious about the deaths of the two men, Sezuko headed to Suzu's apartment as if being dragged by other friends. It was the room where Kajitani, who was with Sezuko when she was young, lived. From that time, her memory of the past began to flash back. From that time, her physical condition began to show unusual changes. Soon after getting closer to the truth, she came into contact with the "Utopia Zushi," a high-class nursing home that was the model of 『 Ubasute 』, and the secret of Sezuko's birth. The hidden theme of the mystery drawn by "Queen of Evil Mistakes" is "Aging and Death". Using Showa songs as background music as background music, the author describes "One person's old age" and "How to welcome the happy end of life."
