Ep. 33: 新しい土壌に根を下ろすことと、外国人であること - 『見知らぬ場所』

ピューリッツァー賞作家、ジュンパ・ラヒリさんの『見知らぬ場所』を再読しました。 大学生の頃に出会って以来、私の人生に寄り添い続けているオールタイム・ベストの一冊です。今回は、物語の背景にある移民家族の葛藤や、第二部の主人公カウシクの旅を通して感じた「根を下ろすこと」の難しさについてお話しします。私自身がヨーロッパで感じた「常に外国人として見られる重み」と、逆にカリフォルニアで感じた「自分を説明しなくていい安心感」との間で揺れ動いた正直な気持ちを、そのまま言葉にしてみました。 今日も聴いてくださって、ありがとうございます。次回のエピソードは英語でお届けします！

Ep. 32: Ethical Dilemma and One's Agancy of Bringing Life into the World - "Breasts and Eggs"

"I wish I’d never been born."Following up on Heaven, I’m diving into Mieko Kawakami’s "Breasts and Eggs", a book named one of the best novels of the year by TIME and The New York Times. I was particularly moved by the second half of the story, where the protagonist, Natsuko, confronts the complex ethics of choosing to become a mother on her own.From the dilemma of bringing a life into this world to the vivid, bittersweet atmosphere of Osaka, I’m sharing the thoughts that have been spinning in my head ever since. Thank you so much forlistening. Next episode will be in Japanese on a new book!

Ep. 31:「生まれてこなければよかった」への答えを探して。エゴと希望の間で揺れる『夏物語』

「産むことは親のエゴではないのか？」川上未映子さんの長編『夏物語』を読んで、答えのない問いをぐるぐると考え続けてしまいました。特に後半、主人公の夏子が「主体的に子を持つこと」を選ぼうとする姿には、友人との会話や自分自身の想いが重なり、深く揺さぶられました。切ないけれどどこか懐かしい「九ちゃん」の描写や、脳内でリアルに再生される関西弁のパワーについても。前回の『ヘヴン』とはまた違う、強烈だけどどこか救いを感じる余韻を皆さんと共有したいです。一人川上未映子ウィーク、完結編です。聴いてくれてありがとうございます。次は英語回を配信します！
