Musume to Watashi (Chikuma Bunko)

[Machine Translation] A masterpiece of autobiographical fiction written out of deep family love, this work is a recollection of the turbulent years of Bunroku Shishi as a writer and a human being from the early Showa period to the postwar period. Dedicated to his late wife, this work is the story of a father who watched his sickly daughter grow up after losing her mother, his love for his wife who supported him during his difficult years as a writer, raised his stepdaughter, and passed away, and the great story of one person who accepts all these things.

文豪、獅子文六が「人間」としても「作家」としても激動の時を過ごした昭和初期から戦後を回想し、深い家族愛から綴られた自伝小説の傑作。亡き妻に捧げられたこの作品は、母を失った病弱の愛娘の成長を見届ける父親としての眼差し、作家としての苦難の時代を支え、継娘を育てあげ世を去った妻への愛、そして、それら全てを受け止める一人の人間の大きな物語である。
