The novel, particularly the realist novel, a form we might think of as an education in human moods, feelings and compulsions through the shape of a story that we live vicariously. ![]() That you that steps into the river is also like the river. The famous Heraclitean epigram “You cannot step into the same river twice” is justly famous not just because of its primary meaning – the river is always flowing, and what was present a moment ago is now gone – but also its secondary suggestion of eternal flux contained in that word “you”. But the essence of that change is often to be found less in the highly visible, volcanic change of a new job, or a birth or death in the family, a milestone traversed, a timeline of events, a stock market crashing, or a government falling, and more in the galaxies that are always imperceptibly moving and shifting within us, the time that is ceaselessly passing, the body that is growing ripe and strong and then paling, the private and public faces that we sometimes will into being and that sometimes take even us by surprise. ![]() ![]() The first and most unassailable truth of life is change, movement, flux. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Bravo two zero the real story![]() ![]() As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents.

The Japanese title is more accurately translated as “Convenience Store Human ,” which got me wondering why Western readers were so fixated on the protagonist’s femininity. I first heard about the English version of Convenience Store Woman (Grove Press, 2018) translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori, but on reading the Japanese version what struck me before I had even turned the first page was the difference in title. As such, translated works offer a fascinating insight into a society which is often very different from our own.Ĭonvenience Store Woman tells the tale of 36-year-old combini (convenience store) worker Keiko Furukawa, a lifelong dokushinsha (singleton) who has always felt out of place in society. ![]() ![]() ![]() Besides the language barrier, one of the main reasons for this is the cultural difference.
