作家西村賢太さんが今月54歳で急逝した。「二度はゆけぬ町の地図」の主人公貫多は自身の投影でもある。バブル景気の浮かれた世の中と距離のある、どこか”いけてない”青春に少なからず共感する。


 The writer Kenta Nishimura passed away suddenly this month at the age of 54. Kanta, the main character of “A Map of a Town You Can’t Go To Twice” was a projection of himself. You have not a little sympathy for his some lame youth, which is far from the buoyant society of the bubble economy.
