The Bear and the Paving Stone

Toshiyuki Horie

3.75

reflective sad medium-paced

This book is a collection of three short stories. The first one is longest, and as such has a bit more depth. But the other two are sweet in their shortness. They explore loss, memories of the past, the need to belong, and other not sad nor happy feelings that we experience.

Initially read in paperback in 2017, i loved the book. On reread via audio in 2019 and 2020 i have noticed a few off putting things about the story and the writing which has lowered my rating. Elements that are probably a sign of its age (30+) more than anything.
