"How Do You Live?" by Yoshino Genzaburo, translated by Brian Nishii, explores the profound journey of a young boy named Copper. After the death of his father, Copper grapples with the complexities of life, identity, and morality. Guided by the wisdom of his late father’s letters and the philosophical insights of his eccentric friend, the boy embarks on a quest for understanding. Through encounters with love, loss, and self-discovery, Copper learns valuable life lessons about compassion, connection, and the essence of what it means to truly live. The story beautifully intertwines the challenges of youth with timeless ethical questions. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
